Incident in Western Carpark

Email sent around by our campus security last week...

"Earlier this afternoon, University Security asked occupants of Buildings 23, 25, 22, 31 and 30 to remain inside their buildings due to a situation in the Western Carpark.

A student had reported an incident in that carpark.

Police attended about 3.00pm and investigated the situation. They later reported it as a false alarm.

Police and Security spoke to the owner of a car who had a toy cap gun. The person had earlier purchased the toy gun for a fancy dress party. A passer by spotted him with the "gun" while he sat in his vehicle eating lunch.

Police and Security now consider the matter closed.
