A Surrey park was evacuated Thursday evening after Mounties received a report of a possible military-style explosive device.
RCMP received a call at about 7:30 p.m. about the device located in the area of 192 Street and 28 Avenue, according to a news release Friday.
Officers closed both the eastbound and westbound lanes on 28 Avenue between 192 Street and 194 Street. Police say the park was evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
