Bomb squad inspects package mailed to Nyack High School

CLARKSTOWN - A foreign package mailed to Nyack High School raised suspicions and prompted an inspection by the bomb squad today.

Clarkstown police said shortly before 10 a.m. that a suspicious package had been delivered to the school at 360 Christian Herald Road.

The package was sent via the U.S. Postal Service and addressed to Principal Nicole Saieva, Nyack Superintendent James Montesano said in an email to parents. It was from an unknown source outside the country, he said, so Saieva alerted the school resource officer and did not open the package.

Officer Chris Kelly removed the package from the building and took it to "a safe location," where Clarkstown detectives and the Rockland County Sheriff's Department's bomb squad responded, Montesano said.

The package was X-rayed and opened, Montesano said.

The package turned out to be an order of Tupperware that was delivered to the wrong address, police said.

Police said the school was not evacuated.
