Police say that a suspicious package located near the Bathurst Street entrance of Toronto Western Hospital Friday night was “not of a concern.”
Police were called to Bathurst Street, north of Dundas Street West, at around 5 p.m. on Friday. At the time, an explosives team was dispatched to the scene, along with Toronto Fire.
Toronto Fire described the package as a 14-inch by 18-inch black box wrapped in newspaper. The hospital was put on standby and a neighbouring drug store was cleared as a precaution.
Police later said the explosives team determined the package was not a threat and roads in the area were reopened.
