Employees have resumed work at the UPS Centennial Hub after being evacuated Friday morning due to a "suspicious package," according to spokesman Jim Mayer.

The employee came across the package around 6:45 a.m.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we evacuated the building and notified LMPD," Mayer said.

After investigating the building, the police department "determined the package did not pose a threat" a few hours after the original call was made, and employees resumed work, according to Mayer.
