Frankton package left in wrong place by courier

A suspicious parcel that sparked a police callout early this afternoon turned out to be mail dropped off in the wrong place by a courier.

Police were called after the package was seen on the ground near the St John building on Douglas St in Frankton shortly after 12pm.

A police spokeswoman said bomb detector dogs were used to check the package, which turned out to be someone's mail left at the wrong place.

Is the ODT not concerned that articles like this will increase paranoia unnecessarily? Someone left a parcel at the wrong place and the police saw fit to become involved ; unnecessarily as it turned out. So what?
