Authorities are probing a bomb threat that was reported at 1:25 p.m. Tuesday at a LUMA Energy call center located on Victoria Avenue, highway PR-111, in Aguadilla.
As per the initial report, the threat was made via a phone call, with a male voice suggesting he would place a bomb at the site “because someone had to do it.” The staff at the call center alerted the 9-1-1 Emergency System and the Puerto Rico Police Bureau.
The Explosives Office, in coordination with LUMA Energy’s internal security team, performed a search and found it to be a false alarm. The office was evacuated as a precautionary step.
At the same time, a comparable threat was reported in Mayagüez. There were no injuries or negative impacts reported in either case.
Residents who have any information regarding these incidents are encouraged to confidentially reach out to the police at 787-343-2020 or via social media platforms on Twitter (@PRPDNoticias) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/prpdgov).
