Few details were available, including which agency tipped police.

In a statement posted to social media about 11:05 a.m., police advised people to avoid the area of Lipton Street and Trembath Lane.

“Earlier (Tuesday), a neighboring agency investigating in the area located items of concern. Out of an abundance of caution, the bomb squad was notified,” police wrote at the statement, adding that police remained at what was an active scene past 11:30 a.m. “At this time, we do not believe there is any threat to the public.”
