Metro Police reopened Lamb Boulevard in both directions this afternoon between Bonanza Road and Washington Avenue after someone spotted a suspicious package in a storage unit about 11:45 a.m. today.

A shopping center near the storage units had been evacuated as a precaution, said Officer Jose Montoya, a Metro spokesman. The shopping center has since reopened.
