Police are trying to identify a woman who allegedly left a suspicious package in a downtown Toronto office building on Monday, causing the bomb squad to respond.
Toronto police said it happened near Bay and Harbour streets.
A woman reportedly entered a building in the area and placed a suspicious package on a ledge near an escalator.
She then left the building, police said.
The incident led to a response from the Toronto police Explosive Devices Unit, which determined that the package did not contain explosives.
Police described the woman as 40 to 50 years old, five-foot to five-foot-three with long black hair.
She was wearing a headband, a long black winter coat, a long black skirt and black slippers, police said.
She was reportedly carrying a black and white zebra-style bag, a green shopping bag and a black cross-body purse.
