CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A suspicious package discovered outside the Duke Energy building in uptown Charlotte Tuesday morning turned out to be a cassette tape, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say.
Officials say the call came in just before 6:15 a.m. from concerned employees in the mail room inside the Duke Energy building, located in the 400 block of South Tryon Street.
The package was described as being a small manila envelope handwritten and addressed from out of state to Duke Energy, according to police. Police and the bomb squad investigated the package, which contained a cassette tape by the band Journey.
Employees in the mail room notified police who cleared the scene shutting down roads. A K-9 unit was also deployed to the scene, police say.

Have they swept the area to make sure there is no Foghat?

mailing a cassette tape? really? that's very 1985.
