The Canada Post processing plant in downtown Vancouver was evacuated after a border agent discovered a package with grenades that later turned out to be fake.
A Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) employee was scanning a package that had arrived at the plant at about 4:15 p.m. Monday when he found the grenades, CBC reported.
The building was evacuated just before 5 p.m. and a bomb technician was called in to check out the package, which turned out to contain novelty items, The Vancouver Sun reported.
