Rohan Frederick, the court administrator, told Observer that he received an anonymous tip around 8:45 in the morning about the threat.
He stated that a gentleman told him about a conversation he overheard where some men were discussing the plot on Christian’s St. in Gray’s Farm.
The gentleman was unsure of whether the plan was actually carried out, but decided to call in the threat as a precaution.
After receiving the call, Frederick contacted the chief magistrate, then the police arrived and evacuated the premises.
For their safety, the police instructed persons in the court and bystanders to stand at least 100 ft away from the building and blocked off the street to prevent the flow of traffic.
Employees of the court were allowed to return to work around 10 o’clock as no bomb was found.
