Suspicious package sets off explosives scare at Kamloops, B.C., RCMP detachment
KAMLOOPS, B.C. – Bomb technicians from Vancouver are on their way to the RCMP detachment in Kamloops after two women brought in a suspicious package.
RCMP Cpl. Grant Learned says the item appears to be some sort of incendiary device that could cause a small explosion.
The two women found it at the basement of a home where they are tenants with other residents.
Learned says the RCMP detachment has not been evacuated, but the area around it has been cordoned off.
A nearby daycare has also been notified.
Photos of the package have been sent to an explosive demolition team in Vancouver, which is expected to fly out to Kamloops.(CFJC, CHNL)
