Polson Park in Vernon had to be cleared of people this morning after an explosives incident. The RCMP's Gord Molendyk says the park was sealed off just before 10 after a report of a man trying to sell dynamite in the popular green space, followed by someone spotting some items in a canvas bag. Molendyk told the media, "We have evacuated the park as a precautionary measure, and we have called in our explosives unit (from Vancouver) to investigate." However, just a few minutes later the incident was over after it was confirmed the items in the bag were just flares. Molendyk says a picture of the items were sent to the experts in Vancouver who made the determination. A man was arrested at the scene, but it's not known if he will be released or face charges.
