SAN PEDRO, Calif. (AP) — Police are investigating an apparent vehicle explosion in the parking garage of a San Pedro hotel near the harbor.

Los Angeles Police Lt. John Romero says a caller reported a blast at 7:30 a.m. Sunday.

Responding officers didn’t find anything initially, but a short time later a patrol officer with the Port Police discovered an SUV with broken windows in the underground garage.

Romero says the vehicle showed evidence of an explosion.
