Bangor police cleared a suspicious package found along the city’s Pride parade route on Saturday morning.
Officers shut down the intersections of Hammond and Main streets and Harlow and Exchange streets while investigating the package, which was cleared by Bangor’s bomb squad by 1:30 p.m.
Police declined to describe the package, which was found during Bangor’s annual Pride event that kicked off Saturday at 11 a.m. About an hour and a half later, police reported the suspicious package in the heart of downtown.
A Bangor police emergency services unit truck was parked in front of Umami Noodle Bar during the investigation.
Hundreds attended Bangor’s Pride event, which began with a parade down to the city’s waterfront, where dozens of vendors surrounded a main stage featuring performances throughout the day.
A spokesperson for the Bangor police department declined to provide additional details on the investigation.
