Residents and businesses have been evacuated as a result of a security alert close to a nursery school in Dromore this afternoon (Wednesday).
Police are advising the public to avoid Church Street in Dromor which is currently closed in both directions “due to a security alert in the area”.
Cordons are in place.
Deputy First Minister and Lagan Valley MLA Emma Little-Pengelly, wrote on social media: “We have been in contact with the PSNI and have been advised that two cylindrical objects were found at A1 Recovery, the yard beside The Old Station Nursery and as a precaution the area has been cordoned off and evacuated until a special unit examines the objects.
“The police advise that there is no risk to the public but ask that people stay away from the area until confirmation that it is safe to return, hopefully later this afternoon.”
