Prince George courthouse was evacuated and the area cordoned off for an hour after a large suitcase was found sitting at the building's front door on Tuesday morning.

When a police dog did not smell any explosives, RCMP moved in and opened the suitcase which appeared to be full of clothes and personal items.

The courthouse was reopened shortly before 9:30 a.m.

Some onlookers said they had seen a man pulling a similar suitcase around the downtown core on Monday.
