Finaghy train station alert ends after suspicious object made safe
A security alert at Finaghy train station, which caused disruption to some rail services and forced residents from their homes, has now ended.
Police said a suspicious object at the centre of the alert in Finaghy Road North has been made safe and removed from the scene.
Residents who were moved out of their homes on Tuesday morning have been allowed to return and the road has fully-reopened.
A spokesperson for the PSNI thanked people for their patience and appealed for information.
They continued: “Police received a report of a suspicious object at 11.40am today.
"The object was made safe by ammunition technical officers and has since been taken away for further forensic examinations.
“Our enquiries are continuing and we would ask anyone with any information which could assist with our enquiries to call police on the non-emergency number 101."
This was the second security alert on Tuesday. Earlier in a separate incident access to a Covid testing centre was blocked in Derry.
