Lisburn bomb alert a hoax
A security alert in Lisburn, during which a number of residents were evacuated from their homes, has ended.
A suspicious object found in the Causeway End Road in the city late on Sunday night was examined by army bomb experts, who declared the device was a hoax.
Roads in the area were reopened at around 4am on Monday and residents allowed to return home.
They took shelter at the Independent Methodist Church hall during the alert.
Speaking to UTV on Sunday local DUP MLA Paul Givan said: “If this is a prank call, well it is completely stupid to disrupt people in this manner.”
