Police have put up a perimeter around the post box outside West Street Post Office. When the noon collector came and opened the door, a white powder billowed out of the post box. Tests will be carried out to identify the substance...

(nothing to do with trick or treat then)?

I'll ask the postman when he comes and collects in my department (should be 10mins). He collects at west street before us. He's told me before you wouldnt beleive what people shove in the post boxes.

the white powder is probably everyones post exploded into dust by a controlled explosion lol

maybe kids had put a firework in there which hadn't gone off and they had to blow it up?

Postman says it's a box thats got white powder in it. It's gone to be tested, and the post box is now being cleaned out.
