Renewed Appeal After Explosive Device Thrown At A House In East Belfast
The PSNI have renewed their appeal for information after an explosive device packed with nails was thrown at a property in east Belfast.
The "crudely-made" device was thrown at a property in the Bloomfield Road area on Friday, 18 May.
The device partially exploded and a woman who was in the house at the time was not injured but was left shaken.
PSNI Sergeant Rory McPhillips said: "Anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area around the time of the attack should contact detectives at Musgrave by calling the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1633 of 18/5/18. We would particularly like to hear from anyone who saw two males riding mountain bikes in the area around the time of the incident. We believe they may have information that could help our investigation. They are described as being on dark-coloured bikes and wearing dark clothes with their hoods up and faces covered. They may also have been wearing workmen’s gloves. They were seen riding off towards the Grand Parade area."
