A suspicious package was been discovered at a north east engineering plant this morning.
Police, fire and ambulances crews were all sent to Score Europe’s Peterhead HQ at around 11am today after the discovery was made.
It is the second time this year that emergency services have been called to the site, after a similar package was discovered on the site in March.
A police spokesman said: “Police Scotland can confirm that inquiries are on-going into a suspicious package which was sent to Score Europe in Peterhead. Officers were alerted to the package at 11.30am today.
“Officers have taken possession of the package and are liaising with partners to establish the circumstances. There’s no immediate danger and we would like to reassure members of the public that appropriate action is being taken.”
Three fire appliances, two from Peterhead and one from North Anderson Drive, Aberdeen, along with two specialist units were called to the scene.
A fire and rescue spokeswoman said: “We were there but we have left, it’s in the hands of the police. We did nothing, we weren’t required.”
An ambulance spokeswoman confirmed they have a specialist response team on standby at Score Europe, but have not been required to assist.
In June, army bomb disposal experts were sent to the base after a parcel, believed to have contained mechanical parts, was delivered to a valve manufacturing workshop at the rear of Score’s main building.
