Prince George, B.C. – The suspicious package which E Division’s demolition unit retrieved from a downtown Prince George business on Sunday, was in fact, explosive.
According to the RCMP, the package “was capable and had the potential to function perfectly” i.e. to detonate. Why it failed to detonate is not known and the answer will elude investigators as the device was taken to a safe site on Sunday and destroyed.
The package was found in a business at 4th and Dominion Streets early Sunday morning after police were alerted to a glass break alarm. When they arrived on scene, they spotted a rock and the package inside the store. They cordoned off the area and waited for the E- Division Demolition Unit to arrive on scene to deal with it.
