Downtown Albuquerque – Around 10:00 AM, officers from the Albuquerque Police Department responded to a suspicious package found near a loading dock at 201 3rd Street NW.
Third Street and the surrounding area will experience closures for both vehicle and foot traffic as officers work to secure and clear the suspicious package.
On the scene, we observed a heavy police presence, and AFR units were also seen staged nearby. APD was trying to coordinate the evacuation of a building that shares a wall with the loading dock. The scene was secured and a loud controlled detonation was initiated on the package around 12:30PM.
In Deming, New Mexico, on Monday, a suspicious package was found by the New Mexico State Police near government buildings. The NMSP was advising people on X (formerly known as Twitter) to avoid the magistrate and probation office.
