Appeal For Information Following L'Derry Security Alert
The PSNI has announced that a security alert in the Limewood Street area of L'Derry has now ended, following the removal of a viable suspected pipe bomb.
The alert began at around 7.30pm on Monday, 04 November, when an object was thrown at a house in the area. Officers attended and observed the remnants of what they believed to have been a pipe bomb device and alerted Army Technical Officers. The object, which has been declared as a viable suspected pipe bomb, has been removed and taken away for further forensic examination.
Detective Sergeant Mark Gingell said: "It is believed that this device was put through the window of the house and has exploded. This has caused damage to the property but could have led to the occupants being badly injured or even killed.
