Police in Derry are appealing for witnesses to a security alert in the city on Friday night.
A suspicious object was found in the middle of the Lone Moor Road, outside the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
A public safety operation was implemented and shortly after 2am, it was established as being a hoax device.
Both President Michael D. Higgins and the Northern Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris were attending a League of Ireland match at the stadium at the time of the discovery.
Detectives want to speak to anyone who was on the Lone Moor Road between 6 o’clock and 8.30 on Friday evening and noticed anything suspicious to contact them.
