BLARING SMOKE DETECTOR alarms have brought hearings to a halt in the Supreme Court building in White Park Road, St Michael.

About 60 people including Chief Justice Sir Marston Gibson, judges, prosecutors, jurors and accused people have evacuated the building and are standing on the outside.

The alarms have been sounding for more than 30 minutes but no smoke has been seen.

One police officer told the group attempts to turn off the alarms had failed.

This is the second such alarm this week, although this one is lasting longer. (Coastline Communications)
