A busy West Vancouver intersection had to be closed down briefly on Monday morning as police reacted to a potential bomb scare.

West Vancouver police shut down Mathers Avenue at 15th Street at just after 8: 30 a.m. and called in Vancouver Police Department's explosives unit after someone reported a suspicious package left nearby.

On closer inspection, the package turned out to contain some very non-explosive reading material and traffic returned to normal by 10: 40 a.m.
