I don't think havoc is quite a strong enough word! :-)

Liason on the corner of St Georges Tce and Barrack street...

There's a bit of local chatter but too hard to pick up here.

Guys you realise this may just be a hoax by a very disgruntled customer, he is and i am sure has caused panic within the City at peak hour with everyone wanting to go home.

What sort of wacko would do something like this, people are on edge enough as it is about Bali and stuff, if and when they do catch him, i hope they throw the book at him and lock him up! :shock:

Well guys by 6:30pm last night, the Police Bomb squad did confirm that the suspicious package was in fact a Hoax - they didn't say if they had any leads to catching this guy.

If anyone knows more, or if i hear anything, will endevour to keep you up dated.
