There was a brief scare at the University of Technology (UTech) in St Andrew yesterday after an anonymous caller made a b**** threat.
Information gathered by THE STAR is that shortly after 1:00 p.m., a secretary at the institution received a call warning that a b**** had been planted in the administration building.
Evacuation
An alarm was raised and a subsequent evacuation exercise was initiated.
According to the Constabulary Communication Network, members of the Protective Services and B**** Squad were summoned and the buildings searched.
Units from the Rollington Town and York Park Fire Stations were also put on standby but no b**** was found.
'Kill some time'
Students with whom THE STAR spoke afterwards joked about the matter, and claimed to use it as a chance to 'kill some time'.
"We were all ordered to gather on the big playing field ... I personally did not take it serious, let's be honest here. I have never heard of a b**** going off anywhere, this is not Afghanistan ... It was just a chance to kill some time," Simone Clarke, a 20-year-old second-year business administration major said.
I NEVER fail, i'm just SUCCESSFUL in finding out what doesn't work Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
