Bomb scare at APUA

12 October 2022 - 16:44

Employees were forced to evacuate the APUA main office on Utility Drive after someone called saying to get out of the building because it was going to be blown up.

A worker there confirmed that the individual called twice. It was after the second call all staff evacuated the building.

Police are currently on the scene while traffic is being diverted.

On October 3rd, a bomb threat was reported at the Antigua and Barbuda Social Security, scattering employees and interrupting an otherwise ordinary day.

According to sources, the individual called the Social Security Office and used threatening language, saying that they should “call the Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney and tell him to clear the building”.

Moments after the K9-Unit and the Bomb Squad showed up to conduct a sweep of the building, evacuating staff in the process.

After a thorough inspection, the staff was given the all-clear to return.
