A security alert in St Brecans Park in Derry/Londonderry has ended.
It was sparked following the discovery of a suspicious object which has been examined and since determined to be a hoax.
Residents who had left their homes as police and ATO worked to make the scene safe, have returned to them.
No road were closed during the alert.
Inspector Farren said: "I want to thank the public and, in particular, those impacted by the alert for their cooperation.
"I also want to appeal to anyone who has information about this incident, or who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area, to call us on 101 and quote reference number 593 of 12/06/21."
Local Councillor Christopher Jackson has said he was "disgusted" to hear of people being forced to leave their homes due to a suspect device being left in the residential area.
