Detonated package ID'd as GPS survey machine

The bomb squad from the Salt Lake City Police Department detonated a suspicious package Monday night found in the parking lot of the ARUP building at the University of Utah's Research Park.
Tuesday, a man stepped forward to say the device that was blown up was actually a GPS survey machine that had been set up to collect data.
The black box with an antennae sticking out of it was reported to police as a "suspicious package" about 6 p.m. Monday.
Because they were unable to determine exactly what was in the box, a robot blew it up twice to render it useless.
As it turns out, the man who left the box there works for a local engineering firm, said Salt Lake City Police Detective Joe Cyr.
There was no information Tuesday on what kind of data the machine was collecting or how much the device was worth.
