A suspicious object sparked a massive police response in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood Tuesday.

According to Chicago police, the law enforcement response was triggered after the object was found inside a bag near Jimmy's Red Hots, a restaurant located at the corner of Grand and Pulaski.

A bomb squad was deployed to the location, and traffic was temporarily halted on Grand between Keeler and Springfield. Pulaski was also closed between North Avenue and Division Street during the investigation.

According to the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communication, those closures have since reopened.
