The discovery of a viable device in a residential area of Derry/Londonderry has been condemned as “reckless”.
The remains of a suspected pipe bomb were found in the Lincoln Court area of the city on Tuesday night.
Inspector Timothy McCullough said police received a report of a loud bang in the area between 11pm and 11.30pm.
“Police, along with Ammunition Technical Officers, attended the scene on Wednesday afternoon and the object has now been declared a viable device,” he said.
“This was a reckless act, in a busy residential area, which could have resulted in serious injury or worse.
“I am appealing to anyone with information to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 1054 of 09/06/21.”
