Police investigation reveals no suspicious package at STC bus depot

After an investigation, police have concluded there was no suspicious package at the STC bus depot this morning.

Police said the investigation began just before 10:30 a.m. on Friday when they received a report from an employee at STC that there was a possible suspicious package on a bus.

A bus driver told 980 CJME he had an agitated passenger on a bus who had forgotten his bag and medication at the terminal. The bus driver said he turned around so the man could grab his bag. When the bus returned to the depot, the man took off.

The building was evacuated and police temporarily blocked traffic on Osler Street while investigators tried to determine if there was a risk to public safety.

A complete search of the bus and the building found nothing unusual.

The matter concluded just before 12:30 p.m.

Police said the concern came from a misinterpretation of an individual’s behaviour.
