A suspicious package was delivered to Alderney's States office on Thursday.
The package, which was addressed to a States member and contained a piece of toilet paper, was handed to Alderney Police as a precaution.
Alderney's chief executive, David Jeremiah, said: "From the way the package was addressed it looked as if something offensive may have been inside. This is the reason it was passed on to Alderney Police unopened."
A police spokesman said enquiries into where the package originated from are ongoing.
Anyone with information should contact Alderney Police on 824999.
