A suspicious package that sparked a bomb scare and evacuation of a New Zealand mail centre was later identified as a harmless sex aid, according to a newspaper report.
An airport x-ray machine alerted staff about suspicious wiring in the parcel from China on Tuesday and it was placed in an explosives safe overnight.
Emergency services were only notified the next morning, when they decided to evacuate the mail centre near Auckland airport.
The New Zealand Herald reports the parcel was later identified as a sex aid.
The incident has prompted a Customs investigation into why emergency services were not immediately contacted, leaving a potential bomb in a safe overnight.

An airport x-ray machine alerted staff about suspicious wiring in the parcel from China on Tuesday and it was placed in an explosives safe overnight.
The wiring, the gasoline engine, and the overall size of the thing made it quite suspicious.
Sorry, Mrs. Clinton, for the delay. Your package should be arriving shortly.

An airport x-ray machine alerted staff about suspicious wiring in the parcel from China... They should have looked more closely: it was sent from Wang Laboratories.

I’m guessing that it didn’t fit inside a quart size clear plastic baggie for inspection purposes...

Maybe she was worried about increasing the size of her carbon footprint.
