PROVO, Utah – Explosives experts were investigating a “suspicious package” a jogger reported in Fort Utah Park near 300 N. Geneva Road Wednesday, and officials later determined the package contained fiber optics equipment.

Provo officers said the jogger found a Pelican case and a backpack along the River Trial at about 11 a.m.

The Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team was called to the scene to investigate. Authorities eventually determined that the package was a fiber optics system that had recently been stolen.

The items have been returned to their owner.
