(Scroll down for video) Employees of Under Armour in Baltimore, Maryland, are fuming after they were under lock down because a worker made a prank police call.
Baltimore City Police responded to a 911 call, which threatened employees at Under Armour headquarters on Sunday afternoon. Police shut down the building for hours, which left workers unable to return home.
The 911 call came in at 2:00 p.m., and a SWAT team responded to the scene in order to search the building.
After completing their search, the officers determined that the 911 call was a very unfunny prank.
"We take every threat seriously. A SWAT team searched the facility and we inspected the employees inside," Eric Kowalczyk of the Baltimore Police Department said.
"Prank calls put a lot of people in danger, and take away the resources of the city," he said.
Kowalczyk said that the prankster will face justice.
Besides the building itself, the streets around the headquarters of Under Armour in South Baltimore, were closed for five hours. Area residents were not happy.
