Suspicious Package Removed by EDU Robot (seen above in orange)

Prince George, B.C. - The "E" Division's Explosives Demolition Unit removed what police were calling a suspicious package from a business in the 400 block of Dominion Street.

One of the police officers from the specialized unit out of the Lower Mainland entered the store and soon thereafter, the EDU Robot went inside the store and picked up the 'package.'

The incident began when police responded to a report of a 'glass break' at the business, but when they arrived, found the package. Whether the package was delivered along with the rock that was thrown through the window is not known.

RCMP Spokesperson Gary Godwin says their investigation continues. "It's undetermined what the package is and that was our dilemma in the beginning and that's why we wanted to err on the side of caution."

The area between 4^th Avenue and 5^thAvenue and the adjoining alleyways were blocked off as a precaution.

Moron's doing vandalism that ends up costing the tax payers how much? Find them, charge them, then bill them for the police costs incurred. No more B.S., handholding/coddling of these CRIMINALS. Zero tolerence, three strikes your out, whatever works best, I'm all for

The morons will never be found and they're probably planning their latest stupidity as we speak.

Careful 'nuck - on this site we get in trouble for crazy talk like that. Apparantly we are supposed to sit down and explain to these "poor misguided souls" why what they have done is wrong and they will, in turn, promise not to reoffend.

Isn't that GZZZZup or whatever the store is called where the downtown shootup started very close to a while back? The gang war in this town is very interesting. Why do all the known gang members wear body armour? I will give you a hint, they are not afraid of the cops. More afraid of being slain and stuffed in a closet like those two last week.

Why don't we name the business? The cops are afraid to use the term "turf war", "gang violence",whatever you want to call drug dealers killing each other for control of the streets.

Interesting that this problem leads back to an interesting local business? I wonder why these poor downtown business people are being picked on? I bet they are running an honest bsiness? Why are the questions never asked let alone answered? Why did every drug dealer in town know about the murders last week before the police admitted that they did?
