No details were released about the package, though Roed said emergency response teams used “a number of available resources to investigate the incident,” including a robotic device used to handle possible explosives.

“The investigation is still ongoing but there is no threat to the public or surrounding area,” said Roed.

Keefer Street was closed between Main and Columbia streets while police dealt with the package, but should be reopened by Sunday afternoon.
