Suspicious Package Investigated; Determined to be Harmless
GREELEY, Colo. — On Friday, January 23, at approximately 5:15p.m., Greeley Police officers responded to reports of a suspicious package in the 700 block of 15th Street.
Officers arrived on scene, and as a precaution, evacuated residents of a nearby apartment complex and issued a shelter-in-place for the surrounding area. Greeley-Evans Transit responded with a bus to provide warmth for displaced residents.
