Carrickfergus security alert ‘a hoax’

A security alert in the Blackthorn Park area of Carrickfergus has now ended after being declared a hoax.

Police received a report on Friday evening, 16 February of a device in the area.


Officers carried out a public safety operation in the area overnight and into Saturday afternoon, 17 February and nothing untoward was discovered.

All roads that were closed have now fully reopened, and police thank local residents for their patience and understanding whilst the public safety operation got underway.
