Young children played with “crude device”
British army technical experts have examined what has been described as a “crude device” found by children in north Belfast.
The device consisting of a firework with nails attached was found in the garden of a house at Roseleigh Street in the mainly nationalist Manor Street area on Thursday November 1.
It is believed six children aged between four and 12 discovered the device earlier at a nearby community centre and were playing with it before a parent raised the alarm and discarded it in the Roseleigh Street area.
