A Melbourne street has been re-opened after three police robots were deployed near what appeared to be two fire extinguishers sticky-taped to a box on the side of the road.
Victoria Police's Bomb Response Unit used the robots at near Stanhope Street and Glenferrie Road in Malvern, in Melbourne's south-east.
Glenferrie Road was closed in both directions between High Street and Wattletree Road, but police said the road was reopened after "safety checks" were conducted.
An officer on the scene said police suspected the items were hard rubbish that had been dumped on the street.
"The matter was resolved shortly after 8:00am without incident or threat to public safety," a police spokeswoman said.
Yarra Trams said it was still experiencing delays on the 5, 6, 58 and 72 trams.
Route 16 trams and 3 trams had resumed, but passengers were warned of delays.
