The canisters were labeled "U.S. Hazardous."

Explosives experts issued an all clear Monday afternoon after three suspicious canisters were discovered in a residential garage in Southeast Dallas.

A bomb squad robot was deployed to the 8300 block of Reva Street in Pleasant Grove to examine the large containers while a portion of the neighborhood was evacuated as a precaution.

Firefighters and an ambulance were on standby as the robot determined that the canisters—labeled "U.S. Army Hazardous"—did not contain explosives. A small cache of fireworks was discovered at the scene, police said.

The canisters were thought to belong to a resident who was recently evicted from a nearby apartment complex. They were discovered by a Dallas County constable who was enforcing an eviction at the Reva Street address.
