Village cordoned off over alert | Village cordoned off over alert |
(30 minutes later) | |
A County Tyrone village has been closed because of a security alert. | |
Police said there was a telephone warning that a bomb had been left in a van on the bridge in Clady. | |
According to local reports, people noticed a van parked on the Erney Road bridge with its hazard lights flashing at about 2100 BST on Wednesday. | |
The police have closed a number of roads leading to the village, and diversions are in place. The Army are at the scene. | |
Independent councillor Gerard Foley was one of the first to come across the van. | |
"We stood and looked at it for about ten or fifteen minutes and we said, there's something not right here," he said. | |
"So we cordoned off the street and put cones across the road, and then we phoned the police. | |
"There is no support in this community for what is happening, (people) don't want this in Clady at all." |
