Ballymena Security Alert Ends
A security alert in Ballymena, Co Antrim, has now ended.
A suspicious object was discovered in the Cambridge Avenue area on Monday evening.
The device was an "improvised firework", police have confirmed.
Residents have since returned to their homes.
SDLP North Antrim Assembly candidate Connor Duncan said: "The proximity of this alert to a local school is extremely worrying. The safety and security of our children should be beyond question and those who would seek to jeopardise it are beneath contempt. A youth football tournament was taking place at the time and a further 60-70 young people have been evacuated from the area as a precaution."
