Suspicious container discovered at Cocos Island
The Guam Police Department's Marine Patrol Unit, the Guam Fire Department's Hazardous Material Team, and other rescue officials were called to Cocos Island late this afternoon following a report of a suspicious container. (This was not part of the TOPOFF-4 homeland security exercises being conducted elsewhere on the island.)
According to officials from GPD's Agat Precinct, they received a call that a 20-liter container containing unknown chemicals and a foul smell was found on the southside of Cocos Island. Because of its location, emergency responders had to take a boat to the island to determine whether it posed a risk.
No evacuations have been ordered yet as officials try to determine the contents of the container and who is responsible for leaving it on the island resort.
