Trump Campaign Offices In Florida Were Evacuated As A Result Of A Prank Device Sold On Amazon

Former President Donald Trump‘s campaign offices in West Palm Beach, Florida, were evacuated after hearing what soon appeared to be a prank device.

A “suspicious incident” at the Republican National Committee offices in West Palm Beach last Thursday caused employees to evacuate, The New York Times’ White House correspondent Maggie Haberman reported.

As this occurred, cops swept in during reports of beeping under a worker’s desk.

According to a West Palm Beach police report, three “chirping devices” were found under desks on August 29.

Employees at the time were concerned that the two-inch-long gadgets were listening devices. Out of caution, police stated that nearly 50 people were evacuated.

“FOUND POTENTIAL LISTENING DEVICES // HEARD BEEPING BY DESKS // INTERNAL SECURITY ALSO FOUND DEVICE,” the report stated. 

It also said that the individual who called the cops “THINKS THEY HAVE FOUND LISTENING DEVICES ‘BUGS; IN THE OFFICE.'”

However, the police report explained that it was a hoax and not an act of espionage.

The equipment found was a prank plastic listening device called the AnnoyingPCB, which can be purchased for less than $14 on Amazon.

“ONE DEVICE, UNLIMITED CHAOS: AnnoyingPCB is the ultimate gag gift or revenge pranks,” the device’s product description states. “Simply activate the noise maker and hide it. It will beep, screech, or make a cricket sound at random intervals of 5 to 45 minutes. Perfect April Fools Day prank for your friends or coworkers!”

“COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT: This super small annoying sound device can hide easily in most places,” the description also mentioned. “This little noise prank is inconspicuous and hard to find. It is light enough for off-brand tape or a magnet to hold it in place.”

The report stated that security officials reported the incident as a “prank.”

West Palm Beach police officials report that it has not been confirmed who placed the devices in the office.
