Idaho Falls Police are investigating a suspicious package found in the stairwell of the Red Lion Hotel Saturday night.

An employee of the hotel discovered the small device.  It is described as a package wrapped in electrical tape with a fuse coming out of it.  Police say it looked as if someone had lit the fuse.

According to police, black gunpowder was leaking from the package. A member of the Idaho Falls Regional Bomb Squad responded. 

Two suspects were seen leaving the hotel about an hour before the device was discovered.  They are described as having long black hair and trench coats.
