A mysterious white powder has been sent for testing at an industrial lab after being found in two separate locations at the General Motors plant in Orion Township, Michigan.
In an email to The Oakland Press, GM spokeswoman Dayna Hart revealed that the white powder was found “outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29.” The following day, a bottle containing a similar white substance was found inside the plant.
The email continued saying “We have followed the appropriate safety and industrial hygiene procedures to clean the area and have removed the bottle safely. A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week. All findings and actions have been shared with our employees.”
Employees at the plant told the press that there were drug-sniffing dogs in the factory as well as people in Haz-Met suits.
As we speak, the Orion plant is being retooled to support production of the brand new all-electric Chevrolet Bolt, deliveries of which are set to commence later this year.
