That happened before work started and news of it, plus the presence of police investigators had staff on edge all morning. And then, things got really tense at around noon when a bomb threat was called in. The caller told the receptionist that the building would blow in ten minutes - and so workers were hurriedly evacuated. It turned out to be a hoax but one with a sinister undertone. Public Relations manager Haydon Brown told us what happened:...

Haydon Brown, BWSL Public Relation Officer
"This morning when we arrived at work we found two of our company vehicle being with minor damage and the preliminary reports that we received is that there was an object thrown into the yard by an unidentified person at this point in time that created this damage caused to our vehicles."

"Later on about quarter to twelve we received a bomb threat call through our receptionist/help desk. This was conveyed to all our staff at which point we evacuated our premises."

Geovanni Brackett, reporter
"What time this morning did you all found the two objects?"

Haydon Brown, BWSL Public Relation Officer
"We found that about 6:30 this morning. That's generally when our staff comes into office."

Monica Bodden
"At what time did you guys received the bomb threat?"

Haydon Brown, BWSL Public Relation Officer
"The bomb threat was about quarter to twelve."

The building was clear but work resumed a little after two. Police believe that the two events are related to disgruntled workers who were laid off. They got that from the call with the bomb threat where the caller referred specifically to a Supervisor who had laid off workers.

Police can't say quite what chemical was in the bottle and they have sent it to the forensic lab for testing. Police presence has been increased in the area.
