A chicken restaurant in Osceola County has been evacuated after a "suspicious device" was found inside the restaurant on Monday night, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office said.

The device was found around 6:15 p.m. at Piocos Chicken Restaurant on Boggy Creek Road, OCSO said. The restaurant has been safely evacuated.

Because the Osceola County Sheriff's Office does not have its own bomb squad, the Orange County Sheriff's Office bomb squad will respond to the restaurant to inspect the suspicious device.

It was not immediately clear where inside the restaurant the suspicious item was found.
