At 10.15am on Monday October 4 the Grand Hotel received a telephone call with what has now been proven to be a bomb hoax.

Emergency services attended the area and evacuated the building and erected cordon as a precautionary measure.

Specialist teams conducted thorough checks of the building and surrounding area and found no evidence of any threat to public safety.

The cordon was removed around 4.30pm and staff and guests were allowed to return to the hotel.
