POLICE say a suspect device found last night in Derry turned out to be a hoax.

Foyle Road in the city was closed overnight while Army Technical Officers examined the suspect object.

A police spokesperson said this morning: “The incident at Foyle Road is now finished.

“Thankfully this was an elaborate hoax that caused minimal disruption with no evacuations and only road closures.

“Thank you for your patience.”
