Message in a Bottle Closed Down Tod's Point Thursday

GREENWICH, CT—Police found that a bottle containing a message found at Tod's Point doesn't pose a public safety risk, according to police.

A concerned citizen alerted a Greenwich Police officer to the bottle Thursday morning. The officer also found that the bottle contained some strange items and decided it warranted further investigation.

The bottle, which resembles a pickle jar was likely set adrift and washed up on shore, said Lt. Kraig Gray, police spokesman.

:"Although the resulting investigation may have been inconvenient to the public, a measure and meticulous response to these unknowns are an important component to everyone's public safety," he said.

The Stamford Police Bomb Squad was called in along with Greenwich Fire Department. The area was closed off while authorities investigated.

"The initial investigation has revealed the items are not hazardous to the community, however they are at the very least odd and we are continuing to investigate how they arrived at Greenwich Point," Gray said.
