Finiti allarmi sicurezza a Lurgan e Dungannon
Lurgan and Dungannon alerts end
Two separate security alerts in Lurgan and Dungannon have ended, police said.
The second security alert in Lurgan in less than 24 hours has been described by police as an “elaborate hoax”.
It was sparked when a suspicious object was discovered in the Lake Street at 6.45am on Wednesday morning.
Lake Street was closed at the railway crossing and North Street was also shut while investigations were carried out.
Both roads have since been reopened.
On Tuesday, a suspicious object was found close to Lurgan college on the Lough Road, although it was later declared an elaborate hoax.
Meanwhile, a suspicious object spotted outside Dungannon courthouse shortly before 8.30am on Wednesday was examined by ATO and declared to be a false alarm.
Roads have been reopened and residents have been allowed back into their homes.
