Steinbach RCMP spent much of the night at the Valeant Pharmaceuticals plant in Steinbach. Staff Sergeant Harold Laninga says they were called there at about 1:00 a.m. Friday after a suspicious package was discovered.

"We had a call about a package that was of some concern so Steinbach RCMP attended and we called in our explosives disposal unit from Winnipeg who came out. We determined the package was actually not suspicious in nature. Essentially they were expecting a package of pills and, instead, it was a type of recording equipment. So it was more so surprise at the nature of the package."

A detour was put in place around the plant through the night for traffic that was westbound on Highway #52. The scene was cleared shortly after 6:00 a.m.
