White Powder In Suspicious Envelope Brings HazMat Team To Bergen County Plaza

A white powder in a suspicious envelope that brought a Hazmat team to a Bergen County administrative building in Hackensack turned out to be rather innocuous after all.

Firefighters were called to 1 Bergen County Plaza around 1:30 p.m. where they were told a letter containing some type of white powder had been delivered, they said.
