Main Street in Le Roy is being closed to traffic because of a suspicious package on the sidewalk between L.B. Grand and the hardware store.
The package has been there since yesterday.
Fire police were just dispatched to Main and Route 19 to block traffic.
UPDATE 11:43 a.m.: Reporter Ray Coniglio was on scene. It was box of golf pencils. A state police bomb tech happened to be the area and the package was examined and determined to be harmless. The road is being reopened.
UPDATE 12:07 p.m.: Picture added. Also, this from Ray:
Le Roy Det. John Condidorio said passersby told police the box had been on the sidewalk since Thursday.
“Given the current situation of things we took the precautions we needed to,” Condidorio said “I contacted the bomb tech unit (and) luckily he was right in the area at the time. He stopped by, X-rayed the picture — and it turns out to be some pencils.”
“Better safe than sorry.”
