Default How to spot a suspicious package

In light of the current security situation I have dug out an old file of mine from my NVQ Business Admin 3 on how to spot these suspect packages.

Recognition of suspicious packages
Signs to look out for
• Smell of marzipan
• Package unevenly weighted
• Evidence of wires, either in or out of the package
• Grease marks on the package
• Addressed to a non existent person, or a person no longer present
• No return address

If you receive a package with any combination of these signs, treat as suspicious

When dealing with a suspicious package
1. Do Not open it
2. Clear the room
3. Call 999, ask for the police and report a suspicious package
