The City of Cape Town in South Africa and police are investigating an incident involving an alleged explosive device found at the city’s Jewish community center, the municipality said on Tuesday.

The announcement was about events that first occurred Friday, when what appeared to be an improvised bomb was located near the center, according to a statement by the local branch of the Jewish Board of Deputies, the umbrella group of South African Jewry (SAJBD). The device did not explode, no one was hurt and no damage was caused in the incident.

Following the Board’s statement, local media reported erroneously that no such devices had been recovered, Cape SAJBD executive director Daniel Bloch told JNS on Monday. However, a device was encountered and this has prompted an ongoing investigation led by the serious crimes division of South African police, known as the Hawks, he said.
