BARRIE, ONT. -- Peel Regional Police are promising an update on what brought them to the area of Chamberlain Cres and Davis Dr in Collingwood Friday.

Collingwood OPP Const. Martin Hachey says the bomb squad was called in after officers carrying out a search warrant found a suspicious package. This prompted officers to call in the explosive disposal unit.

Nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution, but residents have since returned home.

It is still not known what was inside the package or if it had posed any real danger to the public.
