Suspicious package found in Poinciana home cleared

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — Osceola County sheriff's deputies have cleared a suspicious package that was found at a home on Hybrid Drive in the Crescent Lakes subdivision.

A portion of Hybrid Drive is closed as deputies and an explosives team continue to investigate.

The residence is near Reedy Creek Elementary School, but the school was not put on lockdown.

Deputies said buses and parents are picking up students at a different entrance than normal, which is a little further away from where investigators are gathered.

Horizon Middle School students who live in the Crescent Lakes subdivision and ride the bus are being kept at the school until parents can pick them up.

Deputies said the scene should be cleared shortly.
