Victoria Airport Briefly Closed Yesterday

Tense moments as RCMP located suspicious package

Some tense moments at Victoria International Airport in BC yesterday. 

Flights to the province's capital were cancelled after a passenger brought a package to the airport that was flagged as suspicious. 

A wing of the airport was closed, flights slated to land were redirected elsewhere and about 20 flights out of the airport were cancelled as a result. 

The person carrying the package is under investigation. 

No word on whether any charges were laid.
