Allarme bomba presso la casa di una poliziotta cattolica a Kilkeel
Alert at Catholic police officer’s home in Kilkeel
Army bomb experts are examining a suspicious object found near the home of a Catholic police officer in Kilkeel, County Down.
Homes were evacuated in Fearon Close, off the Scrogg Road, while searches were carried out.
Motorists have been advised to avoid the area.
SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie said local residents told her a device may have fallen from a car belonging to a female police officer.
“Let there be no doubt whatsoever that we and all the people of Kilkeel stand with this officer and against those who would bring destruction and murder into this peaceful community,” she said.
“Everyone in Kilkeel will be disgusted by this attack and everyone will want to see those responsible brought to justice as soon as possible.”
