ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police say they found no explosives while investigating a suspicious package Monday in downtown Albuquerque.

Albuquerque police’s EOD team, otherwise known as the APD bomb squad, responded Monday morning to the Albuquerque Plaza building, otherwise known as the WaFd Bank Building. They remotely inspected and “disrupted” a package sent and received at the building.

The bomb squad cleared the scene around 2 p.m., stating all indications showed there were no explosives in the package.

Police say they took extra precautions following events reported in Deming and Las Cruces earlier in the day.

In Deming, police say they found an explosive device at the probation office and advised of a second device possibly in the area.

Meanwhile, in Las Cruces, police responded to the probation and parole office there about a suspicious package. Police later determined the package was an empty box and posed no harm.

Initial reports indicated APD activated its bomb squad to assist the FBI after receiving a call about a suspicious package in the kitchen area of a restaurant in the 300 block of Third Street Northwest.

All lanes of traffic and businesses in the area are back open.
