The TTPS said it received seven reports through different mediums, concerning the Arima, Princes Town, Chaguanas, Siparia and Sangre Grande Magistrates’ Courts, Kent House, Valpark Shopping Plaza and a location in San Fernando.
Police immediately activated security protocols, heightened their security posture and deployed officers to conduct checks at the affected locations.
At Kent House on Long Circular Road, Maraval, the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government said a bomb threat was received shortly after midday.
The building was evacuated, with staff and tenants directed to leave in an orderly manner.
