After investigating a suspicious package that halted traffic in downtown Herndon for nearly two hours Monday afternoon, Fairfax County’s Police Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team determined it poses no danger.
According to Herndon police, the suspicious item turned out to be non-threatening.
“It was a hand-made package wrapped up in tape that turned out to be a piece of trash that may have fallen off a truck,” said Lt. Ron Thunman of the Herndon Police
