Something about this case doesn't smell right

The bomb squad isn't usually called in to defuse stink bombs, but a smelly package at a Southwest Miami-Dade bank needed an expert's touch.

An entire shopping center was evacuated Tuesday morning after a suspicious package, which turned out to be a box full of chicken and goat parts, was discovered near a Bank of America.

The box wasn't ticking or anything, but it was swarming with flies, officials said.

The incident happened around 10 a.m. in the area of Quail Roost Drive and SW 127th Avenue, near the Shoppes at Quail Roost shopping center, CBS4 reports.

A bomb-detection robot tried to detonate the potentially explosive device, but nothing happened. Maybe they should have used a bomb-sniffing dog instead.

When bomb squad members got closer to the box, they realized how stinky the situation was.

Officials didn't say what type of chicken and goat parts were in the box, but the stench was strong enough to clear the parking lot.

It's unclear who left the smelly package at the bank or why.
