Community Advisory Update

Our on-scene operations at Conservation Park have concluded. The Scituate Police and Fire Departments, in cooperation with the Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad and ATF, have recovered more than 50 blasting caps from areas along the banks of the North River.  At approximately 5:40pm, members from the State Police Bomb Squad and ATF performed a small, controlled detonation of the recovered ordinance on site. At this time, the area has been cleared of hazards and Conservation Park is reopened to the public.   If a member of the public should come across any suspicious items throughout any areas of town however, we still urge them to contact 911 immediately. Our thanks to our local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their assistance; and to the members of our community for their cooperation throughout the course of this investigation.
