Sanders' State Office Evacuated For 'Suspicious Package'

Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) office in his home state of Vermont was evacuated Thursday afternoon after a "suspicious package" was found, according to WCAX.

Authorities responded to the Burlington office just before noon Thursday. While Sanders's office was cleared out, the police did not call for the evacuation of the rest of the offices in the building or on the block.

The state bomb squad is investigating and police told the news station that the package would most likely be removed with a robot.

This is the second time this month that a suspicious package has been reported at one of Sanders's offices. On Sept. 11, a call was made about a package at his office in St. Johnsbury, Vt., that turned out to be a false alarm. -End.
