The PSNI has warned people in the Oeghill Hill Park area of Drumahoe in Londonderry to remain “vigilant” as searches continue following a report of ‘a device’.

The report was received shortly after 10pm last night (Sunday) and searches have continued but nothing “untoward” has been found yet.

Derry City and Strabane Superintendent Clive Beatty said: "As we continue with our enquiries this morning, we're urging the public to be vigilant. We're appealing to anyone who sees anything suspicious in this area not to touch it or pick it up, but to call us immediately on 999. We'd also ask anyone with information, or who may have been in Oeghill Hill Park last night and saw anything suspicious to call us on 101, quoting reference number 1741 of 05/03/23."
