RCMP detachment in Nanaimo, B.C., partially closed over suspicious packages
NANAIMO, B.C. – Two suspicious packages found on a lawn adjacent to the RCMP detachment in Nanaimo, B.C., caused a partial closure of the police station Tuesday.
RCMP say the two cardboard packages were found at about 10:30 a.m., but were later deemed safe by the explosives disposal unit.
The Mounties say out of an abundance of caution, they evacuated a section of the detachment and closed the building to the public.
An RCMP explosives dog carried out a preliminary assessment of the packages before the disposal unit was consulted.
Police say its 911 and non-emergency phone lines were not affected.
