Peel Regional Police say that roads leading to Terminal 1 of Toronto Pearson International Airport have reopened after a police investigation in the area wrapped up.
All TTC buses were bypassing the terminal due to the police activity and the Ontario Ministry of transportation had closed the northbound Highway 427 ramp to Dixon and Airport roads.
Toronto Pearson said on Twitter that all public transit, as well as all pick up and drop off locations, had been moved to the arrivals level.
Peel police Const. Danny Marttini told CP24 that officers received a call around 1:05 p.m. on Wednesday saying there was an unattended bag in the terminal.
“Our canine unit did attempt to deal with it, but they decided it was best to be dealt with by an explosives unit,” she said.
At the time, Marttini was not able to say when the terminal would reopen.
“It does take some time to follow those procedures,” she said. “Unfortunately, it will probably take a bit of time. But, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
The package was cleared around 3:10 p.m.
