The Gwinnett County Police Department bomb squad was called to investigate a suspicious package at the Lake Lanier Management Office at the dam about 10:00.
Police said their preliminary investigation indicated that an employee went to a post office for the usual mail pick up. Included in the mail was a box package. When the package was opened, there were two metal tins inside, but there was no note or anything else to show who sent them or where they were mailed. Because of that, the employee called police.
A routine evacuation of the office was conducted, according to police, and the bomb squad deployed its robot to x-ray and neutralize the package. It turns out there were cookies in the tins.
Apparently, according to police, the office has received threats in the past and those threats coupled with the suspicious package prompted the 911 call to police. Police had no other information on those threats.
Officers say they will investigate further to try to determine who mailed the cookies and from where.
