Detective Kevin Smith said the chemical that set off a lockdown at the Bellmore Post Office Friday morning was not hazardous but will be tested further. Federal marshals arrested Wendy Cavanagh on identity theft warrants from Arkansas when she went in a Nissan allegedly stolen from Texas to the Bellmore Post Office to pick up two packages. He said she had not ingested any harmful substance.
