Police blocked off road access after firefighters reported a suspicious item in Kelowna today.
Kelowna RCMP received a report from the Kelowna Fire Department of a suspicious item near the fire hall on Enterprise Way at 8:50 a.m. on Nov. 8, according to a press release from police.
When officers arrived they cordoned off the area, closed surrounding roads, and evacuated the area around the fire hall.
“The RCMP’s Explosive Demolition Unit was consulted and Police Dog Services attended. The item was determined not to be an explosive device. Police would like to thank the public for staying out of the area during this time,” Sgt. Laura Pollock said in the release.
The road will stay closed so that police can investigate, but RCMP said it would only be a short period of time.
Police did not say what the item was.
