Suspicious Powder Explained

June 4, 2004 — Philadelphia police know who was behind last night's hazardous materials scare outside the US Mint in Center City. Just after 9:30, someone was spotted sprinkling powder outside the Mint in the 100 block of North 5th Street. The powder turned out to be cornstarch.

Investigators say a running group, the Hash House Harriers, was behind the incident.

The front runners use piles of corn starch to mark their trail so slower runners know where to go.
