Mercer Island Police Department Investigates Reports of Suspicious Packages

November 20, 2023 - Mercer Island Police Department investigated two reports in the past three days involving suspicious packages delivered to Jewish organizations in our city. The packages were determined not to be dangerous but remain suspicious, particularly in light of incidents similar in nature that are being reported in recent weeks throughout the region, and nationally. We treat targeted harassment very seriously and appreciate the assistance of our partners at the United States Postal Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation. 

Additional information will be shared when available.
