Viable Pipe Bomb Caused Explosion In West Belfast
A viable pipe bomb caused an explosion at a house in west Belfast, police have confirmed.
The incident happened at the rear of a property in the Creeslough Court area just after 8pm on Wednesday, 07 February.
No-one was injured in the incident.
A number of items have been removed for further examination.
Detective Sergeant Gardiner said: "Those responsible for this reckless attack showed blatant disregard for the occupants of the property and the local community.
"Thankfully, no one was injured when this device detonated in the rear garden of the house. The overwhelming number of people in the community do not want this type of activity and we, as a police service, will continue to work to bring those responsible before the courts.
"I am appealing to anyone who witnessed this incident or anyone who knows anything about the circumstances surrounding it to contact detectives at Musgrave Police Station on 101, quoting reference 1198 07/02/18. Alternatively information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
