4 More Suspicious Packages Received At Courthouses In Nova Scotia

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 May, 2015 11:30 AM
    HALIFAX — Nova Scotia's Justice Department says police are investigating after four more courthouses across the province received suspicious packages today.
     
    Spokesman Andrew Preeper says the packages arrived at courthouses in Bridgewater, Kentville, Truro and Halifax.
     
    The Law Courts building on Halifax's waterfront was evacuated and traffic in the area was diverted over the lunch hour because of the package.
     
    Halifax police say the evacuation order was lifted shortly before 2 p.m.
     
    On Monday, four employees of a courthouse in Amherst were released from hospital after complaining of nausea, dizziness and burning to the throat after a suspicious package was delivered there.
     
    Preeper says there are no reports of illnesses in the latest incidents.
     
    Amherst police Chief Ian Naylor said Monday their initial investigation indicates the incident in that community may be related to similar packages received at five provincial courts in Manitoba on April 8.
     
    All of the tests for dangerous chemicals in those packages were negative.
