No Explosives In Suspicious Package

An RCMP bomb squad destroying a suspicious package outside of the Scotia Bank on Main Street West.

Police got a call of a suspicious package outside of the bank around noon today.  A note was attached and while the contents of the note have not been released, it was enough for the entire street and businesses to be evacuated for almost 6 hours.

A bomb disposal robot blasted the package twice with a water cannon.

Sgt. Chuck Elgee says there were no explosives inside but would not reveal what the package contained.
 
While the bomb disposed of by the RCMP, the city's Major Crime Unit will be conducting the investigation.
