Police have advised business owners to continue to look out for anything suspicious in their premises. The police in Derry said the discovery of seven hoax devices at the store meant traders needed to be vigilant between now and Christmas.
If anything raises concern, staff should call police rather than handling it themselves, a spokesman said. Superintendent David Hanna said: "Staff training, and briefings from our crime prevention officer undoubtedly led to the discovery of the hoax devices and demonstrates the value of making regular and thorough searches of premises throughout the day, not just at the close of business.
"Staff at all retail outlets need to know what to look for when carrying out daily inspections of premises and stock, but need to realise that the appearance of incendiaries can change.
"Therefore, the most important advice for anyone finding a suspicious object, is not to touch it or examine it, but to contact the police immediately."
