North Belfast security alert ‘reckless and disgraceful’ – Finucane 

Sinn Féin MP John Finucane has condemned those behind a security alert in north Belfast which saw a number of viable pipe bomb type devices discovered as well as a quantity of ammunition.

The North Belfast MP said:

“This incident has caused significant disruption for the local community, as well as for tourists attempting to visit Belfast Castle, and I want to unequivocally condemn those behind this reckless act.

“To leave weapons of this nature in an area frequently visited by families is both dangerous and disgraceful. There is no place for this kind of behaviour in today’s society.

“Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Police have also confirmed the security alert has ended.

“I would appeal to anyone with information to bring it forward to the PSNI immediately.”
