A section of the Canada Post processing plant in Stoney Creek was evacuated early Tuesday morning after an unknown white powder was found in a trailer.

The Hamilton Fire Department responded shortly before 4 a.m. to the Millen Rd. site.

“Hazmat teams took samples and screened for harmful compounds. None were identified,” a Hamilton fire spokesperson said in an email.

The call was cleared shortly after 6 a.m.

This is the second time in just over a month that the facility has been evacuated.

Workers at the plant had to evacuate on Feb. 2 after receiving a suspicious package that was later deemed to not be criminal in nature.
