Officers were called to the roundabout with Harrogate Road and the A6120 Ring Road in Moortown at just after 9am this morning (Saturday, September 14).
Road closures were put in place and a small number of nearby properties were evacuated as a precaution while the object was investigated.
West Yorkshire Police said in a statement that an Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team was called in to examine the package, which turned out to be a plastic bag with a military-style metal container.
