Police swarmed on the Southern Institute of Technology this afternoon following a suspected bomb threat.

A police spokesman said they were called about 1.30pm to the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) building between Don and Esk Sts.

A reporter on the scene said staff and students were evacuated to Don St but were given the all-clear at 1.55pm and allowed to re-enter the building.

People who had been evacuated said they understood the incident was a suspected bomb threat.
