Police investigated a bomb threat received at 1:25 p.m. Tuesday at a LUMA Energy call center on Victoria Avenue, highway PR-111, in Aguadilla.
According to the preliminary report, the threat was communicated through a call, where a male voice indicated that he would place a bomb at the location “because someone had to do it.” The call center staff notified the 9-1-1 Emergency System and the Puerto Rico Police Bureau.
The Explosives Office, along with LUMA Energy’s internal security, conducted a search and seizure of the facilities, determining that it was a false alarm. The office was evacuated as a preventive measure.
Simultaneously, a similar threat was received in Mayagüez. No people were reported injured or affected during either incident.
Citizens with information about the events are urged to contact the police confidentially at 787-343-2020 or through social media on Twitter (@PRPDNoticias) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/prpdgov).
