Halifax police are investigating after a suspicious package led to the temporary closure of two roads in the city.

Halifax Regional Police officers responded to a report of a suspicious package in the 5700 block of Young Street around 8:50 a.m. The intersection between Young and Agricola streets were closed as police investigated.

“Members of the Forensic Identification Section attended and determined the package was not a threat to the public,” read a Monday news release from Halifax Regional Police.

The streets were reponed shortly after.

Police did not disclose the contents of the package, and the investigation is still ongoing.
