Around a dozen houses were evacuated around Glover Road and Rawlison Crescent after a suspicious package was found in the woods near the homes on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspicious package, thought to be an explosive device, turned out to be nothing of consequence, confirmed Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The Explosives Disposal Unit attended and assessed the package, said Marks.
“They advise there is nothing of concern. Residents are returning to their homes and the road has been re-opened to traffic,” she said.
The homes were evacuated out of precaution around 2 p.m. The concerning package was discovered by a lawn maintenance crew who called police. Langley RCMP also had Rawlison Crescent blocked to traffic between 232 and 240 Street causing traffic problems. That was re-opened at 4:15 p.m.
