"On Jan. 30 at 10:43am Winston-Salem Police Officers responded to the Red Lobster Restaurant, 1609
Westbrook Plaza Dr., on a reported suspicious package. A small black suitcase was located lying in
the natural area in front of the business.
The suitcase was not present when employees first arrived at the
business. The suitcase had what appeared to be a white or gray wire hanging out
of the suitcase with no other markings.
Upon arrival, the area was blocked off and personnel at the
restaurant were evacuated. The business
was not open, so there were no customers present. Personnel with the Hazardous
Materials Squad responded as well as EMS and fire department personnel. It was later determined that the suitcase was
actually empty except for a clothes hanger which was protruding from the side.
At this point the restaurant was opened for business.
The owner of the suitcase was never identified. It appears to have been inadvertently left
at this location."
