Pipe Bomb Found In Co Antrim
Residents had to be evacuated from their homes during a security alert in Crumlin, Co Antrim.
A pipe bomb was discovered in the Ballydonaghy Meadows at around 9.30pm on Wednesday.
Sinn Féin's Declan Kearney condemned the incident.
He said: "Families have been evacuated out of their homes in Ballydonaghy Meadows and Ballydonaghy Road and this incident has caused serious disruption to local people.
"I commend the community spirit of those locals who have opened a community centre to provide shelter for those families who have been forced out of their homes.
"Their actions are in stark contrast to those responsible for this incident who have nothing to offer but disruption to young and old alike."
Residents have returned to their homes and the alert has now ended.
Army bomb disposal experts have removed the device for further examination.
Meanwhile, a pipe bomb was discovered by police in west Belfast on Wednesday.
The device was found in the garden of a house in Dunmurry Lane.
Sinn Féin MLA Jennifer McCann said: "The security alert in Dunmurry Lane has caused massive disruption including people having to be evacuated from their homes and traffic chaos in the area.
"Local residents are rightfully angry at this incident and the people behind these recent spate of attacks have done nothing but brought hardship to local communities and need to stop this activity immediately."
