An exploded pipe bomb was behind a security alert in west Belfast on Thursday evening.
Police say the device was discovered by a householder in Norglen Parade around 10:30am on Tuesday (5 November).
It’s believed the device exploded at around 10:30pm on Monday night (4 November). There have been no reports of any injuries, however, slight damage was caused to a windowsill.
Inspector Phillip McCullough said police attended the scene last night, along with army technical officers who declared the device to be a viable pipe bomb-type device.
“The remnants of the device have now been seized by police and taken away for further forensic examination and our enquiries are continuing.
“Anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the Norglen Parade area on Monday evening, or anyone with any information that could help our investigation is asked to call police on 101, quoting reference number 1570 of 07/01/19,” added Inspector Phillip McCullough.
Information can also be given anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
