A man has been detained for questioning in connection with the series of bomb threats issued Thursday and Friday.
He was picked up Friday evening during a police operation.
This was confirmed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey.
DCP Bailey confirmed that 71 institutions, mostly schools, were affected by the bomb threats across two days - Thursday and Friday.
A hospital and a court building were also among those targeted on Friday.
DCP Bailey said the man, who is now in police custody, was arrested in relation to the threats made on Friday.
He said the Jamaica Constabulary Force continues to lead the multi-agency investigation and maintain dialogue with its international counterparts.
DCP Bailey stressed that the JCF, with support from its law enforcement partners, will investigate all reports received, as every threat is treated as serious until proven otherwise.
He's encouraging the public to take all necessary precautions to protect themselves, but maintains that there's no need for panic, as all the evidence gathered so far indicate that the threats are a hoax.
