Police found drug paraphernalia inside a hotel room in Dumfries.
The discovery prompted the department to issue a warning to drivers to avoid the area due to a potential hazmat situation at the Econolodge motel at the corner of Routes 1 and 234.
TRAFFIC ALERT * EASTERN PWC: Old Stage Rd is closed due to a hazardous materials incident. Please avoid the area or follow police direction.

Police have not said if a drug lab has been found and added the hazmat was ordered only as a precaution.
More as we have it.
