Calgary police took one man into custody on Wednesday following an investigation into a suspicious package near Marlborough Mall.
Officers were called to the 600 block of 36 Street N.E. at about 3:30 p.m. after a man was seen walking near the LRT lines with a smoking bag.
The scary sighting prompted police to close down area roads and temporarily halt CTrain service in the area while they investigated.
