LAWRENCE, Mass. — Police have cleared the scene near the Lawrence Commuter Rail stop following an investigation into a suspicious package which was left near the tracks.
Officials announced not even 10 minutes after the initial tweet about the investigation that the device had been deemed a hoax.
There is currently no threat to the public, but transit police will continue to investigate the incident.
As a precautionary measure, Commuter Rail service on the Haverhill line was temporarily suspended, but has since been restored back to normal with a few residual delays.
No further details were made immediately available.
