For the second time in less than a week, Bishop Street in Derry is closed because of a bomb alert. This morning, a motorist reported a suspect device to a carpark attendant, who alerted the police. It’s the same car park in which a viable 50kg bomb was found on Sunday evening last.
Police have cordoned off an area Bishop’s Gate and Society Street, as well as a section of the city walls.
A number of buildings, including the courthouse, have been evacuated, with all court proceedings have been suspended until Monday.
