The Western Cape High Court has since been declared safe following a bomb scare on Thursday afternoon.
A bomb threat was reportedly received by the police’s radio control room. Officers responded to the scene and the building was evacuated.
The provincial explosives unit in conjunction with handlers of the provincial K9 unit then entered the building, searching for “suspicious parcels of objects.”
Provincial police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi said “we can confirm that the building has been declared safe for business as usual.”
