A suspicious package which sparked a bomb scare and evacuation of a New Zealand mail centre was later identified as a harmless sex aid, a report said.
一件可疑包裹引起炸彈恐慌，更導致紐西蘭郵務中心緊急疏散人員，稍後經鑑識是不致傷人的性愛輔助用具，一篇報導說。
An airport x-ray machine alerted staff about suspicious wiring in the parcel from China last week and it was placed in an explosives safe overnight.
機場一部X光機器上週向安檢人員示警，顯示這個來自中國的包裹內有可疑的線路，包裹一整晚都被放在一個防爆保險櫃內。
Emergency services were only notified the next morning when they decided to evacuate the mail centre near Auckland airport.
緊急事件處理單位一直到隔天早上才接獲通知，他們當下決定疏散這個位於奧克蘭機場附近的郵務中心。
The parcel was later identified as a sex aid, the New Zealand Herald reported.
