Families moved in Ballysillan bomb alert Bomb alert outside Alliance Party office in east Belfast
(about 4 hours later)
An overnight security alert in north Belfast forced a number of families to move from their homes. There is a bomb alert outside the east Belfast office of the Alliance Party.
The alert began when a suspicious object was found in Silverstream Avenue in Ballysillan. A suspicious object was found outside the building on the Upper Newtownards Road on Tuesday morning, the party said. It is being examined by the Army.
A number of residents sought shelter in a local leisure centre while the object was examined by an Army bomb team. The road has been closed between its junctions with the Beersbridge Road and Grampian Avenue.
It was found to be a hoax, and people were allowed to return home at about 05:00 BST. Earlier, a number of people were able to return to their homes in the Ballysillan area of north Belfast after an overnight bomb alert.
One woman who was moved from her home said: "I don't know what they're playing at. Young children and elderly people have been put out of their beds. It's just not right." It began when an object was found in Silverstream Avenue in Ballysillan.
A number of residents sought shelter in a local leisure centre while the Army examined the suspicious object.
Residents were able to return home at about 05:00 BST on Tuesday after it was declared a hoax.
