A security alert in County Down has been declared an "elaborate hoax".

Lisburn Street in Ballynahinch was closed for a number of hours last night following the discovery of a suspicious object.

The road has since been re-opened.

Local MLA Kellie Armstrong said:

"The suspect device in Ballynahinch has been found to be a hoax & the Lisburn Street area is now reopened.

Thanks to the emergency services & the Ammunition Technical Officers who dealt with this situation.

If anyone has any information please call 101"

Lisburn Street in Ballynahinch has now been re-opened following the discovery of a suspicious object earlier this evening. The object was examined and has been declared an elaborate hoax.
