Another security threat disrupts St Catherine court proceedings

Proceedings at the St Catherine Parish Court in Spanish Town were again disrupted on Wednesday morning following a security threat.

About 10:40 a.m., persons with business at the court were ordered to evacuate the premises after a threat reportedly came in via telephone.

Members of the Jamaica Fire Brigade were quick on the scene.

Attorney-at-law Isat Buchanan, who had matters in the circuit court, expressed concern about the issue.

"I think it has caused inconvenience, but although it is only a threat the police cannot take it lightly, therefore, we have to act responsibly and just await the instructions as to the way forward," Buchanan said.

This morning's threat is the third since the start of the year at the court and surrounding areas.
