Another suspicious package has turned up in a Kamloops neighbourhood, after one containing a pipe bomb was discovered nearby the previous day.
A resident found the package in the 2100 block of Sifton Avenue around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, Mounties said in a statement hours later.
“Accordingly, the 2100 block of Sifton Avenue has been closed until such time as the item can be safely examined and disposed of,” wrote Kamloops RCMP, adding its Explosive Device Unit will attend the scene Wednesday morning.
This is the second time in as many days that a suspicious package has been reported to Kamloops RCMP.
The first one was discovered on Monday night in the 900 block of Greystone Crescent—a 12 minute walk from the area where the second package was discovered—according to a statement Kamloops RCMP issued Tuesday afternoon.
In both cases, no evacuations took place.
The RCMP Explosive Device Unit confirmed the package found Monday contained a pipe bomb, and an investigation has been launched.
