The cordon at the Southway security alert in Creggan has been reduced, say the police tonight.
As a result, residents have now been allowed to return to their homes.
The alert was sparked after a Royal Mail van was hijacked this afternoon by a number of masked men.
PSNI Foyle say: “We appreciate it has been a long day for everyone.
“We are beyond grateful for your patience, understanding and support.”
