Bomb scare appears to end without incident
At around 5 p.m. Tuesday, police began closing off streets in the area of Milvia and Carleton streets, area residents said.
It appears there was a suspicious package in the area. It also appears that the incident ended well.
Details, however are extremely sketchy.
Capt. Bobby Miller of the Berkeley Police Department, when reached in his office at about 9:30 p.m., said he knew nothing of what was going on. He referred the Daily Planet to the watch commander who said there had been an evacuation due to a suspicious package found in a vehicle.
However, the watch commander said he could give out no further information, because the case was a UC Berkeley police case since “the incident happened on UC property.”
Once the UC Berkeley police were reached, Sgt. Jim Macedo said he could give out no information on the incident, because it was a city of Berkeley case.
One can assume that the incident ended well, as the person on the police radio called out: “They’re happy campers now.”
Who’s on first, anyway?
