Package Turned Out Harmless

A package taken to the Chatham-Kent police headquarters yesterday turned out to be a gag gift and not a danger but it resulted in some safety precautions while it was investigated.

A resident brought the package to police yesterday afternoon around 2:30pm, and while the building was not evacuated, the front lobby was placed under quarantine.

A Hazmat team was consulted.

Police say if you do get a suspicious package don't move it, you are better off to call them.
