A security alert in the Springfield Avenue area of west Belfast has ended. 

Police and ammunition technical officers attended the scene.

A suspicious object was examined and has been declared a hoax, and has been taken away for further examination. 

Springfield Avenue has re-opened and residents who were evacuated have been allowed to return home. 

Inspector David McBride said: "We thank the public for their patience and would appeal to anyone with information about this incident to call us on 101, and quote reference number 451 of 15/06/20."
