There was an early morning scare for some in the south east Friday morning after what appeared to be an attempted robbery of a gun shop.
Police were called to the Shooting Edge after some driving what looked like a Ford f-350 backed into the wall of the building.
The owner of the business, JR Cox says when the vehicle came to a stop two devices fell from the truck. After reviewing security tape, he says they appeared to be fire bombs.
As a precaution, police were forced to close Blackfoot Trail and put near-by school West Island College on lock down.
The packages have been described by investigators as commercial devices.
Cox says he will be beefing up security at his business and says damage is estimated in the tens of thousands of dollars.
