Police And Fire Investigate Suspicious Envelopes Containing White Powder

The Saint John fire department's Haz Mat Unit called to St. Joseph's Hospital late this morning after a suspicious envelope arrived at one of the offices containing a white powder which resembled pancake mix.

4 people were in the office where the envelope was discovered but none of the powder escaped from the envelope and no one was exposed. They will still be decontaminated along with the office area.

At about the same time, another envelope with something suspicious inside was found at Fundy Funeral Home on Westmorland Road. That was taken away for analysis and again, no one was exposed.

Police and the fire department appear to have a good idea of the source.
