Police last week intercepted two suspect packages that were addressed to local financial institutions.
They were alerted to them following prompt actions by the Isle of Man Post Office staff, allowing the situation to be rapidly contained and pose no threat to the Public.
The packages were subsequently opened and examined by specialist Police Officers in compliance with the Fire and Rescue Service.
