A security alert in Feeny, Co Derry has ended after a bomb was found on a country road yesterday.
Police received an anonymous warning on Tuesday night that a device had been left on the Carnanbane Road near the village of Feeny.
They warned local and people passing through the area to be vigilant for any suspicious devices.
A controlled explosion was carried out on Wednesday.
Police later confirmed that the device was a viable bomb.
The alert ended today around lunchtime and all roads have been reopened.
PSNI Supt John Magill has called on the “reckless individuals” responsible to “give the community a break”.
“This is the second security alert in the area since mid-November,” he said.
“Again, we have had road closures and disruption caused to a rural community.
“People are trying to go about their day to day lives. They are trying to get children to school, visit elderly relatives and go about their working week.
“The last thing people need is the recklessness and disruption created by these incidents.”
Earlier this month, there was a three-day security operation after a viable explosive device was left in the village of Drumsurn near Limavady.
Dissident republican group Oglaigh na hEireann (ONH) later claimed the device had been there for five weeks and it was targeted at Army Reserve soldiers on training exercises in the area.
A controlled explosion was carried out on that device before it was taken away for examination.
