Suspicious packages found at two embassies

Suspicious packages have been found at the Israeli and French embassies in Canberra.

Police say they are investigating the packages at both embassies, in the suburb of Yarralumla near Parliament House.

“ACT Policing’s bomb response team is in attendance,” a spokeswoman said in a statement.

“Police are urging people to avoid the area.”

It was not known whether the two incidents were linked, the spokeswoman said.

Perth Avenue has been closed.

After checking the packages, bomb response teams found neither contained dangerous substances.

A spokesman for ACT Police would not say what was suspicious about the packages.
