Police were
deployed to the State Courts building yesterday after an item
suspected to be a bullet was found near the main entrance.
Responding to
queries from the Straits Times, a police spokesman said they were
alerted to an incident at Havelock Square at about 2.50pm.
The Straits
Times arrived at the scene at around 3.45pm.
An area the
size of half a badminton court was cordoned off.
More than five
police officers, both in uniform and plainclothes, were seen
conducting investigations.
An officer
took photos of the area and, at about 4pm, he took photos of a
small dark-coloured object on the ground.
The object was
later placed inside an envelope and the cordon removed shortly
after.
Police said
investigations are ongoing.
