Police carried out searches in Forest Street, off Springfield Avenue, on Saturday night.

Army bomb disposal experts were called into the area as a precaution to examine suspected pipe bomb components.

A number of residents were forced to leave their homes at around 4am on Sunday morning, to allow examinations to take place.

Cavendish Street Hall was opened to house those affected.

Detective Sergeant Kenneth Leckey added: “All items have now been removed for further examination.
