? A Larchmont bank was evacuated and the bomb squad called in Thursday after a mysterious package was found.

Police say Wachovia employees at Palmer and Larchmont avenues found the package on the floor at about 2 p.m. Responding officers called in the bomb squad, fire department and other emergency personnel. Authorities closed off a two-block radius, interrupting surrounding businesses and causing a crowd to form.

The bomb squad removed the item from the bank after finding that it was a gas can. Authorities later confirmed that a 78-year-old Mamaroneck women left it behind while on the way to fill up her lawn mower. No charges are expected against the woman.
