Strabane device 'an elaborate hoax'
Police have declared a device left outside the home of a Strabane family as an elaborate hoax.

The family and their neighbours were evacuated from their homes as the army carried out a controlled explosion on the device - which police later said comprised of a small container with wires attached.
