The PSNI are appealing for anyone who knows anything about the aggravated burglary that took place in Ballynasilloe Park
The PSNI have confirmed that the ongoing security alert in the Mount Carmel Heights area of Strabane this morning, Friday 18th November follows what appears to have been a targeted attack on police shortly before 11.00pm last night.
A spokesperson said: "Investigations are at an early stage however the attack, which is believed to have been caused by an improvised explosive device, caused damage to a police vehicle and is being treated as the attempted murder of two officers.
"The road remains closed and motorists are advised to avoid the area. No homes have been evacuated at this time.
"A further update will be provided in due course."
The Chair of the Derry and Strabane Policing and Community Safety Partnership, Alderman Darren Guy, has condemned last night's bomb attack on police in the Mount Carmel Heights area of Strabane.
Speaking after the attack, Alderman Guy stated: "Attacks like these are not acceptable in our society and must be condemned by all of us. The people of Strabane are shocked and disgusted at this attempt to murder police officers as they go about their work to keep people safe. There can be no justification for this attack.
"It is clear that those responsible have absolutely no concern for people living in the Mount Carmel Heights area nor do they represent the interests of any of the people living there. My thoughts are with the police officers and with the people living in the area who have had to endure this.
"I would urge anyone with information on this attempt to murder members of our community to contact the PSNI or Crimestoppers immediately."
