Royal Avenue Reopened As Security Alert Ends
Belfast's Royal Avenue has now been reopened having been cordoned off in a security alert which saw hundreds of people evacuated from Castlecourt shopping complex.
The main thoroughfare had been closed and surrounding premises evacuated. However, traffic disruption was minimal as the road is restricted to access vehicles and buses.
During the incident, a police spokesman was unable to comment on the nature of the alert or to say whether the scare centred on the Castlecourt complex itself, or outside in Royal Avenue.
On Friday, there were traffic delays in the Boucher Road area of Belfast following a security alert. Dublin was also dealing with suspected pipe bombs at the same time.
