A bomb disposal robot was sent in to take an x-ray of the abandoned suitcase.

It returned with the x-ray to bomb squad technicians, who are located a block away from the propane tank.

Detectives went over the x-rays to determine what's in the case.

Two bomb squad technicians walked towards the suitcase with detonation wire, according to WKMG, Orlando.

The detonation wire was placed down in the middle of the street, about a stone’s throw away from the suitcase, which is still located near the propane tank.

The bomb disposal robot then dragged the suitcase away from the propane tank, and placed it near the detonation wire.

The suitcase was then blown up releasing what looks like clothing and paper.
