Two employees told this reporter that just last week, another anonymous call was made to one of the offices in that building claiming there was a bomb on the premises.
Many of the affected employees complained on Tuesday that the prank call affected their workload on many levels. Loss of work hours, they say, results in failing to meet output deadlines and also have a psychological effect on them in terms of their safety.
Around 3 p.m. a team of officers were seen entering the building, apparently to conduct a search of the premises.
The incident also affected those wishing to conduct business at the affected offices.
Yesterday morning, normal business resumed at the Heraldine Rock Building.
However, authorities are appealing to the general public to desist from making prank calls of that nature. They contend that responding to such incidents not only raise public fear but put a strain on already limited human resources.
Nevertheless, authorities say that all such incidents are treated with a high level of priority. In addition, authorities say that it is an offence to engage in making prank calls of that nature.
