K9 Lucky Sniffs Out False Alarm Pizza In Walnut Creek

WALNUT CREEK, CA — An ordinary bench in Walnut Creek turned into a scene of high alert this St. Patrick’s Day, drawing officers and a special four-legged investigator to investigate an unexpected discovery.

The Walnut Creek Police Department sprang into action when someone spotted a suspicious package on the bench, snapped a photo, and walked away.

Officers quickly arrived on the scene and called in K9 Lucky, the department’s explosives-trained dog, to investigate.

Lucky sniffed the package with precision, determined it posed no threat, and revealed the culprit: a simple, delicious pizza.

“Thanks to observant community members and a sharp K9, what could have been a concern turned out to be a harmless slice,” police said on social media, noting the importance of reporting unusual activity.

The incident is a lighthearted reminder that staying alert pays off — and that sometimes the “bomb” is just a calzone.
