Letters containing a suspicious white powder are being investigated by multiple agencies across Kansas.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Office of the State Fire Marshal, the Kansas Highway Patrol and several local police departments and fire departments have responded after mail was received by legislators and other public officials containing a suspicious white powder.

Over 30 letters containing a suspicious white powder have been reported across the state. Law enforcement is working to safely collect the letters and investigate the incidents.  Locally, State Senator Virgil Peck and State Representative Ron Bryce received one of these letters. Currently, no injuries have been reported, but they are asking everyone to remain vigilant in handling mail. Any similar incidents should be reported to the KBI at 1-800-KSCRIME. The investigation is ongoing.
