A Vancouver police officer who is part of the bomb squad responded to a report of a person with a Vietnam War-era gas canister.

The resident called authorities at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday in hopes of turning in a canister of CS gas, a tear-gaslike agent, said Kim Kapp, spokeswoman for the Vancouver Police Department.

An officer working patrol who also is part of the Metro Explosive Disposal Team responded, meeting the resident at the agency’s east precinct.

The officer took possession of the canister to dispose of it, Kapp said.
