A security alert in Londonderry is continuing for a second day to allow army bomb disposal experts to examine a suspicious device in daylight

On Monday, a telephone caller to a local newspaper – from someone claiming to represent the republican movement – claimed a mortar bomb had been left on a laneway at the Currynierin estate on the outskirts of the city.

A suspicious object was subsequently found in a laneway and a major security operation was put in place forcing residents to evacuate their homes.

Access has been closed between Ardmore Road and other parts of the Currynierin estate.

Police are urging residents in the area to be vigilant and to report any suspicious objects or activity to them.

On Tuesday morning, Chief Inspector Andy Lemon said he regretted the impact the disruption had on the local community but stressed that the main priority of police was ensure the safety of that community.
