POLICE in the southern Taiwan city of Kaohsiung mobilized the bomb squad after a suspicious package was found in a subway station toilet - but they found it contained nothing more dangerous than mooncakes.
A cleaner called police to report the package left on a waste bin on Saturday. Part of the station, known for its stained glass ceiling, was cordoned off and explosives experts were called in.
TV pictures showed a -police officer in a protective suit entering the toilet carrying specialist equipment while other officers waited outside.
The officer emerged carrying a bright blue cardboard box full of mooncakes, pastries with sweet fillings traditionally eaten at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Local police chief Cheng Ming-chung said: "It was xrayed first to see what it was and whether there was any chemical or electrical reaction.
"Someone must have put it down to use the toilet and forgotten it when they left."
He added that police would continue to investigate.
