POLICE say they have been 'bombarded' by citizens reporting threats on business and infrastructure amid rumours that Government has signed the extradition papers for Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.

Government today denied signing Coke's extradition to the United States on guns and drug trafficking charges. This after companies, concerned over possible civil unrest, began sending home their employees and shuttering their premises.

Despite increasing their presence on the streets police have taken a firm position in urging calm.

"The Police High Command is advising the public it is are not aware of any such threats at this time and that the crime security situation in the country is being assessed on a continuous basis," said a statement today.

Police are urging persons not to circulate false information which may create panic. Persons are instead asked to call Police Control at 119 or senior duty officers at 978-6462 and 927-7778 to report any such information or concerns.

"We wish to reassure the public that our officers have been deployed and instructed to report all safety and security related concerns for action as well as to respond quickly and appropriately to public calls for assistance."
