Dunloy security alert declared a hoax
Police have confirmed that a security alert in County Antrim was a hoax.
The alert began shortly before 11am this morning, when police received reports that a device had been left under a car, thought to be that of a Sinn Fein representative in Dunloy.
The vehicle was examined and nothing suspicious was found.
Earlier today, Sinn Fein revealed that two councillors, Anita Cavlan MLA for Ballymoney, and Monica Digney, Ballymena MLA, had been warned that they were to be targeted.
Commenting on today's alert, Ms Digney said: "This is the fifth or six threat I have received, and Anita Cavlan received some quite menacing phone calls over the weekend."
