DERRY is at the centre of another ‘missing’ bomb alert.
The PSNI has brought in a special team to search for a device on Madams Bank Road – 12 days after dissidents attacked a gritting lorry crew in the area.
“Members of the public should not touch any suspicious objects in the area,” said a PSNI spokesman.
Army technical officers are expected at the scene later on Monday.
A council worker was ordered to take a bomb to the PSNI station on Strand Road in the same area 12 days ago.
A gang threw an object onto the rear of the vehicle but the driver abandoned it rather than take it to the Strand Road.
Nothing was found in a follow-up search.
Dissidents are upping the ante on republicans with a hoax alert at a Sinn Fein office in the Rathmore Business Park just as the party’s Ard Fheis.
Now the latest alert is set to cause huge disruption in the city – just two weeks after an alert in Currynierin when families were forced from their homes.
