Burnaby RCMP has cleared the scene of a suspicious package, delivered to Kinder Morgan’s office on Shellmont Street earlier today.

Officers determined the package wasn’t a threat around noon today, Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told the NOW.

“There was nothing suspicious about it,” he said.

The sender of the package is unknown at this time, and Buis couldn’t confirm if the package was intended to be a threat against the energy company.

“It led us to believe that we had to use an abundance of caution with it,” he added. “We take these things very seriously and we deploy the appropriate resources to determine the nature of it.”

The package was sent to Kinder Morgan’s office in the 7800 block of Shellmont Street. When staff received the packaged, they called the police, according to a statement from Kinder Morgan.

The incident is now under police investigation.
