The central police station in Christchurch has re-opened after being closed for several hours on Wednesday due to a bomb scare.

A spokesperson said the bomb disposal unit examined a package handed over at the public counter at 11am and confirmed that it was not an explosive device.

Part of St Asaph Street had been cordoned off, but is open again on Wednesday afternoon.
