Appeal For Information On L'Derry Security Alert
The PSNI in L'Derry have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following a security alert in the Corrody Road area on Saturday 18 February.
Police and Ammunition Technical Officers attended the scene following the discovery of a suspicious object. It has now been declared as a viable device and has been subsequently removed for further examination.
Derry City and Strabane Area District Commander, Chief Superintendent Nigel Goddard said: "A number of cordons remain in place as police continue to search the area as part of our investigation. We would like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding during this time.
"This explosive device was recklessly left in a public area, just metres away from houses and a sports area where a number of children were playing football.
"Four people have been arrested and a number of searches have been carried out by detectives investigating this incident and an attempted hijacking on Friday evening. They remain in custody assisting us with our enquiries.
"Our focus remains firmly on keeping people safe against the threat posed by violent groups. No matter what level of involvement people have with any criminal or terrorist activity, we will investigate and where appropriate, put people before the courts to answer for their actions.
"Our investigation into this incident is ongoing, and we strongly urge anyone with information, suspicions or concerns about dangerous and illegal activity in our community to contact us on 101."
A report can also be made using the online reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport.
Alternatively, information can be provided to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
