Merseyside Police comment on Bomb hoaxer David
Norris sentencing
MERSEYSIDE Police, Detective Chief
Inspector, Mark Kameen said:- "Bomb hoaxes have a massive impact on the
community as a whole, and this incident in particular brought a large part of
Liverpool City Center to a stand still for a long time on a busy working day. Mr
Norris' actions that day, not only left staff in that business very frightened,
but also had a massive impact on neighbouring businesses, when roads were
closed, offices evacuated and staff and customers unable to access their places
of work or leisure. This incident also took a lot of Police time and resources,
with a multi agency response, including:- Mersey Fire and Rescue Service, North
West Ambulance Service and Liverpool City Council, all working together to
resolve the situation as quickly and as safely as possible. The courts take
incidents such as this very seriously and I hope his sentence is a reminder to
those who make such hoaxes that they will be caught and dealt with robustly by
the Police and the Courts." |
