Detectives are appealing for information after a hoax pipe bomb-type device was discovered at the front of a property in the Waterside in Derry.
The incident in the Winchester Park area was reported to police at approximately 10.50pm last night, (Thursday, January 23).
Detective Sergeant McAdoo said: “Police were alerted and attended the scene along with Ammunition Tactical Officers. Cordons were implemented and, following examination, the device was declared as a hoax. It has now been removed for forensic examination.
“We are working to establish a motive for this incident, and we are appealing for anyone with information to please get in touch with detectives by calling 101, quoting reference number 1816 of 23/01/25."
