Suspicious Package at UNB Saint John

A tense situation on the campus of UNB Saint John where the discovery of a suspicious package late this morning forced the evacuation of the UNB field house.

Staff Sgt. Mike King of the City Police tells Tide News they are concerned about the area where they found the package.There is a return address on the package which they are looking into and they are in touch with a Hazardous Materials team in Halifax. City Fire's Haz Mat unit was called in just before 11am.

Early reports said the package did not contain any liquid or powder. King says they can't say what the package looks like, or what is inside the package at this time, but he does say no threat has been issued.
