CHARLOTTE — Part of the Air National Guard building near Charlotte/Douglas International Airport was evacuated Monday afternoon after someone in the mailroom noticed suspicious labeling on a package.
“It wasn’t properly addressed. It had excessive postage on it. There are several signs that our mail personnel are trained to look at to make sure,” said Lt. Col. Rose Dunlap.
The package matched the description of 11 other suspicious packages found at military bases around the country since Friday.
Charlotte firefighters and HAZMAT crews secured the site. Authorities didn’t say if anything was found inside.
