Vancouver Bomb Squad robot used to investigate suspicious package

The Vancouver Police Department Bomb Squad robot was called in to deal with a suspicious package at a transportation hub this morning.

The item, possibly a rolled up sleeping bag, was found at the Pacific Central Train Station.

Passengers were still allowed to access the train and bus terminal from the back of the station.

Vancouver Police say a mobile X-ray machine was used to determine the package contained a number of discarded items that posed no threat to the public.
