Update - (10:34 a.m.)

Inglis Street is now open to traffic. Police have determined that the suspicious package was a cooler full of concrete. An engineering-construction firm is currently testing the quality of the concrete in various environments. HRP will be working with the company to ensure we are notified when similar testing is conducted in future to prevent unnecessary community concern and police response.
