Bomb hoax in Brecon – voice recording holds the key | Dyfed Powys Police | Heddlu Dyfed Powys
A bomb hoax at a hotel in Brecon has led to police releasing a recording of the person who placed the call warning officers they had five minutes to get everyone out of the building.
The call was placed from a telephone kiosk in the town shortly before 8.40pm on Thursday 24th November.
In it the caller states: “I've planted a bomb in the George Hotel. You've got 5 minutes to get everyone out or they're all … dead."
Now police are hoping someone will recognise the voice and get in touch.
“The caller hung up straight away, so we only have a short recording, but the voice is clear and we’re hoping someone will recognise it and get in touch,” said Detective Inspector Iwan Jones. “This was obviously very disruptive for the George Hotel, not to mention distressing for the guests who had to be evacuated and we want to catch the person responsible.
“Anyone with information is asked to please contact police at Brecon Police Station on 101.”
