A barricade blocks an entrance to the Iqaluit courthouse, which closed on the morning of May 7, but reopened early in the afternoon after police removed a suspicious package. When the lockdown was in effect, the courthouse was evacuated and blockades set up within the 500 block where the courthouse is located. Anyone who has information is encouraged to contact police by submitting a tip online at www. nwtnutips.com or by calling 1-800-222-8477. For updates read Nunatsiaqonline.ca.
