On September 5, 2024 at 7:30 pm, Surrey RCMP received a report of a possible military-style explosive device located at a park in the area of 192 Street and 28 Avenue.
Officers responded quickly and closed both the eastbound and westbound lanes on 28 Avenue between 192 Street and 194 Street. Out of an abundance of caution, the park was evacuated and officers contained the area.
The Vancouver Police Department’s Explosive Disposal Unit attended and neutralized the device. It was determined that the device was inactive and it did not pose a risk to public safety.
The park and roads were promptly reopened a few hours later.
