The Police Service of Northern Ireland said 16 homes were evacuated amid the security operation after they discovered “a number of suspicious objects” at an address in the Woodville Street area of Lurgan.
The PSNI later confirmed "some have been declared as viable devices."

He is due to appear at Lisburn Magistrates Court on Monday.
