A park at 192 Street and 28 Avenue was cordoned off for several hours as police dealt with an explosive device Thursday.

At about 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 5, the Surrey RCMP received a report from a member of the public of a possible military-style explosive at a park near the border with 91原创.
 
"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," said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Tammy Lobb.
 
The Vancouver Police Department鈥檚 Explosive Disposal Unit attended and neutralized the device. She could not say whether the device was old or new and possibly how long it may have been in the park. That's part of the investigation, she explained.

"It was determined that the device was inactive, and it did not pose a risk to public safety," Lobb noted.
 
The park and roads were promptly reopened a few hours later, she added.

People on social media reported hearing a loud noise in the area.

"The neutralization of the device may have caused a noise," Lobb said.
