POLICE IN NORTHERN Ireland have been investigating a suspicious object that was found under a car outside a house near Portadown yesterday evening.
It was reported that the car belongs to a serving soldier who lives in a rural area near Drumcree, called Corbracky Road.
It has been confirmed that the item was not an explosive, and was not malicious.
Superintendent Simon Walls said:
While police are keeping an open mind the item is not believed to be suspicious. Although this incident caused disruption to local residents, my colleagues and I are committed to keeping people safe and this operation proves that this is our upmost [sic] priority.
The BBC said a controlled explosion has been carried out on the object.
Neighbours were removed from their homes for their safety while the object was examined.
