Halton police are investigating the circumstances surrounding a suspicious package left at Bronte GO Station in Oakville that disrupted train service Tuesday morning.
Police said they responded to the station at around 5:30 a.m. after an individual saw a package on a platform near the tracks.
The station was completely shut down as police investigated the nature of the parcel. No trains or buses were able to move through the area for at least three hours during the morning rush hour.
At around 10:20 a.m., the station was reopened, and regular service resumed after police determined the package was not an explosive.
“Police are continuing their investigation into how the package came to be at the station and whether or not it was intentionally crafted to resemble an explosive device,” they said in a news release Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to contact police at 905-825-4777 ext. 2216 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
