Security alert ends in Co. Armagh
A security alert in Lurgan, Co. Armagh has been declared an elaborate hoax.
Police officers were called to investigate reports that a suspicious object had been left at Cornakinnegar Road in the town.
The incident began around 8am on Tuesday morning.
SDLP Upper Bann MLA Dolores Kelly said schoolgirls reported a suspicious device to her.
“It was opposite St Michael’s Grammar School at the entrance to the Providence nuns’ home, ” she said.”
“The girls described it as two canisters with wires attached.”
It follows two separate security alerts in Lurgan last week. The incidents at Lough Road on Tuesday and at Lake Street on Wednesday were later declared elaborate hoaxes.
