Police have re-opened roads in Donagh after security alert
The security alert at Donagh has now ended. Army Technical Officers examined a suspicious device and Police believe this was a deliberate hoax. All roads in the area have now been re-opened.
Superintendent Simon Walls has condemned the incident, “Those responsible for placing this hoax device have done nothing but cause disruption to people in the area and waste the time of officers who are much better employed in dealing with community concerns and crimes that impact on local people.
I would like to thank everyone affected by the disruption for their patience while the operation to ensure their safety was carried out. I would urge anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area in the days before the alert or anyone with any information about this incident to contact police on 0845 600 8000 or speak in confidence to Crimestoppers on 088 555 111.”
Speaking after a suspect device was reported on the main Lisnaskea to Roslea road at Donagh Sinn Féin MLA Sean Lynch said “Whoever is leaving these devices, whether real or hoaxes need to wise up”.
