Security alerts in Belfast have ended after two suspect packages proved to be hoaxes.
Diversions were put in place at Donegal Square North in Belfast city centre while a suspicious package discovered in a car parked in the area was examined.
Police were also called to an alert in the Woodstock Road area of east Belfast, after a suspicious package was found in the street.
Both alerts have now ended, but bus services may take some time to be restored fully.
