Out of an abundance of caution, Las Cruces police have temporarily closed a portion of west Picacho Avenue after an unknown item was discovered at the Adult Probation and Parole Office.
Police have requested assistance from the Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad to help assess the situation and determine what the unknown item might be.
At this time, there is no way to determine if this callout has any definitive connection to incidents reported elsewhere in New Mexico.
West Picacho Avenue is temporarily closed between 17th Street to Motel Boulevard. Motorists who regularly travel the east-west roadway are asked to seek an alternate route until the closure is lifted.
Area residents are reminded to call police immediately if they see anything suspicious or have knowledge of threatening behavior.
