Viable device found at apartments
A viable device has been found at an apartment block in east Belfast.
Police were called to the building in the Short Strand Road area just before 8pm on Tuesday.
Homes in the area were evacuated while the army bomb squad examined a suspicious object.
It was later declared to be a small, viable device.
Police said the alert has now been brought to an end and all evacuated residents have returned.
Officers have asked anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area in recent days, or who has any further information, to get in touch via the non-emergency number 101.
