The device found at the Metrotown Skytrain Station was not an explosive device.
“It was found to be a length of plastic drainage pipe. It had a length of rolled, heavy gage plastic inside and metal caps on the ends of the pipe," said Transit Police Spokesperson Anne Drennan.
There will still be an increased Transit Police presence as officers spend the night sweeping all Translink properties.
Metrotown Station was shut down for several hours as the Bomb Squad investigated the device found outside the East entrance just after 8pm Friday night. It has since been re-opened.
Drennan says there was also a suspicious device reported at Gilmore Station, but it turned out to be a paint can.
