The item was allegedly left behind as part of an exercise conducted by a security firm.
The security officer was supposed to dispose of the fake bomb after a simulation exercise, but he had forgotten to do so.
The 46-year-old man, a security officer on night shift at the premises, was supposed to dispose of the fake bomb after he received a call from the exercise team at about 4.30am on Jan 5. The man told the police that he was away for a short period to buy food near the site. However, closed-circuit television footage showed that he was not present for his guardhouse duty for more than five hours between Jan 4 and 5.
