The security alert in the Beechway area of Cookstown has ended.
A suspicious object, discovered in the area this afternoon (Sunday 11 April), was examined by Ammunition Technical Officers (ATO).
It has since been declared as nothing untoward, and has been removed for further examination.
Inspector Michael Patton said it is believed the object may be a remnant from the First World War.
“Residents have now returned to their homes, and I am keen to thank those who were inconvenienced for their patience and understanding,’ he added.
