Lincoln Fire and Rescue crews and Lincoln Police were called to investigate a suspicious package that was delivered to the Keating O’Gara law office near 21st and M early Thursday afternoon. LFR Public Information Officer MJ Lierman says they took all precautions to safely remove the package.
“They took the robot in, the did some x-rays of the box and they determined inside it didn’t look like the box was suspicious or had anything hazardous in it,” Lierman says. The robot was then used to take the package to the parking lot where it was x-rayed again.
Police determined there was nothing explosive in the package and an officer opened it by hand. Lierman says it’s unclear what was in the package. The building also houses other businesses and apartments.
