— Police said around 3:30 a.m. local time (0230 GMT) they spotted two men near the bank carrying a shopping bag.

His accomplice fled the scene. An initial assessment also found some 650 grams (23 ounces) of explosive powder in the device. The object was taken to a forensics lab for a full analysis.

In Los Angeles, two people were arrested for assaulting federal law enforcement, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Elsewhere in the city, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said "multiple arrests" had been made after protesters did not obey dispersal orders in an area near a federal prison. Reuters reports that arrests were also made in Dallas, after "minor scuffles erupted" when counter-protesters blocked streets and disrupted the No Kings march.
