A school in Belfast at the centre of a security alert has said it was a false alarm.
Police were called to security alert at a school in the Belmont Road area of east Belfast following the discovery of a suspicious device in the area on Thursday evening.
A number of homes were evacuated, while part of the Belmont Road and Belmont Church Road was cordoned off.
In a statement, it said: "On Thursday evening, the Principal and Governors of Strathearn School were alerted by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) to a suspicious device found in the grounds of the school.
