Tension gripped sections of Spanish Town, St Catherine, late Monday night after police and hospital officials were rocked by separate security threats within minutes of each other.

Police personnel assigned to the Spanish Town Police Station were thrown into high alert about 11:49 p.m. on June 1, 2026, after reports surfaced that a bomb had allegedly been planted on the station compound.

The threat triggered an emergency response, with law enforcement activating established security protocols and mobilising relevant agencies to sweep the area.
