Two men will appear in court on Saturday charged with making hoax bomb threats and intimidation, the PSNI have said.

Both men, aged 46 and 33, are charged with four counts of communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and four counts of intimidation – causing a person to leave employment.

In a statement, the force said detectives are continuing to investigate “a number of hoax bomb calls”.

They say the 46-year-old is also charged with “possessing criminal property” and “being concerned in the supply” of Class A and B drugs.
