Later that day, police said the suspicious object which sparked the alert had turned out to be “nothing untoward”.

But then the next day, Thursday, December 1, police got a report of a suspicious object left in the Landbrock Road area.

This led to the Crom Road being closed at its junctions with the Landbrock Road and the Galloon Road.

Now, this morning (Sunday November 4) the PSNI said a “suspicious object located in the Landbrock Road area on Thursday is currently being examined”.
