CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police say "nothing of concern" was found when crews responded to a suspicious bag reported in Over-the-Rhine Monday night.

Police and fire crews blocked off the intersection of Vine and 13th Street after they received a report about a suspicious bag in the area.

The Cincinnati Fire Department said they shut down Vine Street from 12th to 14th and between Race and Walnut to investigate. Police evacuated four buildings near the intersection and reported that people in the immediate area could hear a "noise similar to a firecracker" as bomb technicians worked at the site.

While they have not said what was found, officials said the area was given the "all clear" and nothing of concern was found.
