Device found near children’s play area in Strabane
Army bomb experts have made safe a viable device found near a children’s play area in Strabane.
The device was found at Carlton Drive in the town on Wednesday.
Police said it was “reckless in the extreme” to abandon the device near the play area.
“This device caused a lot of disruption, but the consequences of an explosion would have been much worse,” a PSNI spokesman said.
“We want to thank the people of the Carlton Drive area, their community leaders for their patience and support today and ask them for any information they have that could bring to justice those who would seek to cause death or serious injury.”
