Prince George, B.C.-  The  Explosives Disposal Unit of the RCMP is to arrive in Prince George this morning to  deal with a  couple of  suspicious items.

The items were discovered yesterday in the area of 17th Avenue and Maple.  A bomb sniffing police dog was brought on scene, but did not indicate the items were explosive.  RCMP are taking precautionary measures by having the EDU arrive in town to dispose of the items.

RCMP Media Liaison Corporal, Craig Douglass says  the description of the items does not match  that of the  explosive devices found on University Way on March 18th .

“These items found are suspicious, but there is no danger to the public” says  Cpl. Douglass “The action we are taking  is strictly precautionary.”

Police cordoned off the area and have kept it secured until the Explosives Disposal Unit arrives to deal with the items.
