An investigation of a suspicious vehicle shut down White Marsh’s busy Campbell Boulevard area this afternoon.
County police said they were investigating a suspicious circumstance in the 5300 block of Campbell Boulevard.
They later revealed that officers were made aware of a vehicle containing unknown material.
Members of the Hazardous Devices Team arrived on the scene and found what police described as ‘pyrotechnic’ material.
In response to the discovery, three controlled explosions occurred to dispose of the material.
After several hours, police said on social media that one person was taken into custody, the incident was “safely resolved,” and “there is no active threat to the public.”
County Councilman David Marks, who represents the area, noted this was “the White Marsh Town Center area near Lowe’s” and it was a “serious investigation.”
