A suspicious package was found in the Lower Quad by Glenn and Lupton halls the morning of Friday, Nov. 2.
"A University employee called us and said they saw something suspicious," said Capt. Tom Stofer of the Auburn Police Department. "Just for safety's sake we treat all suspicious boxes with the same safety precautions."
Nothing was found in the box.
"We're guessing it was probably just a part of a prop left over from someone's Halloween costume," Stofer said.
Although the box was empty, Stofer said the Police Department takes situations like this seriously.
"We had our officer with his bomb-sniffing canine go over to the package to check it out," Stofer said.
