SANTA FE, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities were called to investigate a suspicious package that was discovered at a Santa Fe fast food restaurant.
The report was called in to authorities from the Jack in the Box restaurant just off Highway 6 at about 12:30 p.m.

A UTMB bomb K-9 was brought in to assist. According to Santa Fe police, the K-9 did not alert to the presence of any explosives. As a precaution, the Texas City Police Bomb Squad dispatched a robot to examine the package closer.
The metal box under investigation ultimately turned out to be a geocaching box, used as part of a wide-ranging treasure hunting game.
While there was no harm found, the potential threat was not taken lightly in the wake of last week's deadly high school shooting.
