Steinbach RCMP cordoned off an area around Valeant Pharmaceuticals after being contacted in regards to a suspicious package. Both east and westbound traffic on Highway 52 was re-routed.

Steinbach Fire Department also attended the scene.

The RCMP “D” Division Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) attended and forensically examined the package. EDU were able to determine that while the contents of the package were not the expected contents, they were in fact electronic devices utilized by Valeant relative to their quality control process.

Police and fire personnel cleared the scene shortly thereafter.
