West Vancouver police cordoned off a section of Taylor Way near Marine Drive Saturday morning to investigate a suspicious package on the road.
"Somebody saw it. They were a little concerned," said Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver Police Department spokesman.
Officers kept pedestrians away and parked cruisers on either side to block traffic for about an hour to investigate.
"They were able to confirm it was what it appeared to be, which was sandbags in a plastic crate," Palmer said.
"There's no explanation as to how it got there, but of course you have to be a little bit cautious in assessing something like that."
