A view of Cubbon Park
Police spent Friday night examining Cubbon Park after receiving an anonymous call from a person claiming to have kept a bomb there.
The police received the call on the 100 helpline around 10 p.m.
Sniffer dogs and the bomb disposal squad were summoned. After checking, the call was deemed a hoax.
Police believe the call was made by an inebriated man and have launched an investigation to trace the caller.
