Friday was not the first time a suspicious pipe had the bomb squad at Metrotown.
Transit Police Spokesperson Anne Drennan says back in January they brought in an explosive sniffing dog after a Transit worker reported a suspicious pipe.
It turned out to be a piece of construction equipment, like the pipe found Friday.
Whether it’s the same pipe, Drennan can’t say.
“There are differences in the appearance of this particular piece of pipe to the one back in January in that the one had a cap on one end and tape on the other. The pipe in January had caps on both ends.”
Construction crews were asked to remove the pipe in January, but Drennan doesn’t know whether that happened.
This after an explosive device was found on the Surrey Skytrain tracks Friday afternoon.
