Devices Recovered In Creggan Declared 'Viable Pipe Bombs'
Four devices recovered from inside the grounds of the City Cemetery in Creggan, L'Derry on Tuesday 12 April, have been declared "viable pipe bombs".
Derry City & Strabane Area Commander Chief Superintendent Nigel Goddard said: "These actions have seen the exploitation of young people in the illegal parade, with a complete disregard for public safety. We believe these would have been used to attack police, and cause injury to our officers.
"Our colleagues from Terrorism Investigation Unit are continuing with their enquiries into this. At this time, the main line of enquiry is these pipe bombs are attributable to the New IRA.
"We urge anyone with information that may assist the investigation to call police or contact Crimestoppers, which can be done anonymously."
The number to call with information is 101, quoting reference number 428 of 11/04/23. Alternatively, you can submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org/.
