Shoreline police precinct closes for disposal of suspicious package

The Shoreline Police precinct at N 175th and Midvale was closed for an hour because of a suspicious package left outside.

The precinct was temporarily closed.

The King County Sheriff's Bomb Disposal Unit investigated and determined no threat.

It turns out a suspect was returning something from a car prowl. We are currently working on contacting the victim.

The precinct is now open.

UPDATE: The package was determined to be the cremains of a dog, taken in a car prowl from Boeing Creek Park in 2013.
