LEWISTON, Maine — Police say a white powder that led to the shutdown of a bank processing center last week was nothing more than baking powder and sugar.
About 100 employees were evacuated from the TD Banknorth center in Lewiston for several hours after a worker opened an envelope containing the suspicious powder.
Police told the Sun Journal in Lewiston that state crime laboratory analysts determined the contents of the envelope, which had a blank sheet of paper in it, no return address and a New Jersey postmark.
Police said they have turned over their investigation to the FBI.
