Parents are being urged to tell their children about the dangers of playing in abandoned buildings.

It's after a child found shotgun cartridges while playing in a derelict house in Portadown.

The boy, who was playing with other children there, phoned his mum who alerted police.

In a social media post, officers praised the boy and his parents, but warned of the real dangers of playing on unsecure sites.
