When you say called in a bomb threat, do you mean they reported a package as suspicious?

The call-in was an anonymous, apparently, call to the company's switchboard stating a bomb package had been left in the vicinity of the desk. We were evacuated to a separate part of the building for a few hours while it was dealt with.
I think it means they call the police (from a payphone if they are smart), and tell them there’s a bomb under the IT directors desk that’ll explode in x minutes/hours.
