A security alert on Limavady Road in the Waterside area of Derry has ended after a suspicious package discovered in the area this morning, 28 May, was examined and found to be a hoax device.
Police say Ammunition Technical Officers examined the package, which was reported at around 10.15, and they can confirm this was a hoax device.
Police have praised the public and, in particular, the local school community for their understanding and co-operation, saying they know the public safety operation caused disruption and inconvenience.
No homes were evacuated and no roads were closed today. A cordon in the area of Heron Way with Nelson Drive has been lifted.
