Ottawa police investigating after package left outside mosque

Police say they were called to the Assalam Mosque at around 8:30 p.m. due to a suspicious package.

Hawzah News Agency - (Ottawa - Canada) - Ottawa police say investigators are looking into why a box of water bottles was left outside an east-end mosque last Friday.

Police say they were called to the Assalam Mosque at around 8:30 p.m. due to a suspicious package.

The chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE) squad was called in to investigate and through the use of their bomb disposal robot, the package was cleared as safe at around 1 a.m.

Police say there is currently no criminal element but investigators are looking to get to the bottom of why the bottles were left on the bench outside the mosque.

Ottawa police spokesperson Const. Amy Gagnon says the hate crime unit has also reviewed the incident but hasn’t found evidence that this is a hate crime.
