RCMP investigate suspicious package at business south of Edmonton

Leduc RCMP and fire crews were called to a business in Nisku Wednesday morning to investigate a suspicious package.

Officers were called to the business shortly before 10:45 a.m. Police said the package contained an “unknown substance, referenced in a note as being toxic.”

The RCMP Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team was called in as a precaution to remove the package and identify the substance.

On Wednesday evening, police said the package had been removed and the scene was released.

Nobody was injured and Mounties said the package did not contain any “biohazard material,” however, a criminal investigation is ongoing.
