Officials say Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson International Airport is back to normal operations following an investigation into a “suspicious package” Wednesday evening.
Peel Regional Police said officers were called at around 8:45 p.m. to investigate the report.
At 10 p.m., the airport released a brief update on Twitter.
“Peel Regional Police are conducting an ongoing investigation into an unattended bag on Level 3 of Terminal 1. The area has been cleared, and we ask for the public’s co-operation as police complete their investigation,” the tweet said.
The scene was cleared just after midnight when the bag was found to have contained items used for routine tests of security checkpoints.
“It appears that it was left by an airport partner after being used,” police said in a tweet early Thursday morning.
Officials said passengers were being processed on the second level during the partial airport closure.
“Peel Regional Police have completed their investigation. There is no risk posed to the airport community,” airport officials said in a tweet.
International and domestic screening reopened shortly after the police cleared the scene.
