While Thursday’s threat of anthrax at the Godwin Courts Complex was obviously a hoax, nonetheless it was both an inconvenient and expensive one. The time lost conducting business and cost to bring in law enforcement authorities pleased no one except the crank(s) who called.

We look forward to the eventual capture of the person(s) who have been making such threats.

We also encourage residents who have any leads about such people to notify the authorities immediately. A swift arrest should go a long way to putting a damper on future pranks.
