Marco Island, FL - A neighborhood had to be evacuated on Wednesday after two suspicious packages were delivered to a Southwest Florida home.

The Marco Island Police say multiple homes along Mistletoe Court had to be evacuated after two suspicious packages arrived at the same single-family home by two separate companies.

Investigators determined both packages contained footwear. 

The area was secured by the Collier County Bomb Squad and Marco Island Fire Rescue just before 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

The United States Postal Service say Wednesday's scare could have been a scam where items are sent to unsuspecting people in an attempt to get them to pay for them
