Possible Explosive Device In Co L'Derry
People travelling through Feeney in L'Derry are being urged to be vigilant after claims a possible explosive device has been left in the area.
Police received a report of an anonymous call on Tuesday. They are focussing on the Carnanbane Road and Banagher Road areas, however nothing has been found.
Sinn Féin Councillor Tony McCaul condemned the incident and said it is upsetting the daily routine of local people.
He said: "This vague warning is similar to the one in Drumsurn a fortnight ago who caused disruption to the local population for four days.
"The people who are carrying out these acts are offering nothing but misery to the very community they claim to represent.
"If they have the interests of the local community at heart then they would listen to it and desist immediately from this type of activity.
"I would appeal for vigilance at this time and that whoever is responsible for leaving the device to give more details so that it can be safely removed before someone is seriously injured or killed."
