According to people at the scene there was a 100m cordon in place and the Royal Logistics Corps Bomb Disposal present.
Buckley is situated in north east Wales and has a population of around 15,000 people.
Today's incident comes as Britain's terror threat level was raised to severe after a bomb exploded at Liverpool Women's Hospital on Sunday.
The change means the security forces believe another attack is "highly likely".
