A suspicious package that was deposited in the early hours of Sunday closed the Nelson, B.C., police detachment.
Sgt. Dan Markevich told Global News two suspects walked into the police department’s parking lot in the early morning hours and deposited the package.
An on-duty officer approached the two individuals but the suspects quickly left the area and were not located.
Upon inspection of the package that was left behind, the officer deemed it to be suspicious.
