TWO roads in Co Tyrone and Co Antrim remained closed on Tuesday during security alerts, with one caused by the discovery of a suspected WW2 grenade.
A member of the public found the grenade while carrying out work in the Narrow Gauge Road area of Larne on Tuesday afternoon.
A PSNI spokesperson said a controlled explosion was carried out on the "viable" device.
"“We would like to thank the local community for their patience during the public safety operation," they added.
Meanwhile, homes were evacuated in the Gorticashel Road area north of Omagh after reports of a suspicious object in the area on Monday night.
Part of the road remained closed into Tuesday afternoon before the alert ended and residents were allowed to return home.
SDLP MLA for West Tyrone, Daniel McCrossan, hit out at those behind the alert.
“As a result of this incident, people in this community were forced to leave their homes in the middle of the night and have only now been allowed to return," he said.
"Those responsible for this should hang their heads in shame, to target anyone in this way is absolutely disgraceful and they do not have the support of people in this area."
