    The PSNI has confirmed the discovery of an explosive device, which has been made safe.

    Naomi Long said: "Those responsible for leaving this explosive device in the Silverwood Industrial Estate have no regard for human life and are motivated by a need to create fear and disruption in our community.

    “Thankfully, due to the professionalism and expertise of security personnel, a potentially serious incident has been averted. I commend all involved for their vigilance."
