A SECURITY alert on the Glen Road has ended this morning.
The alert began on Tuesday evening following a report of a suspicious device in the area.
Cordons were in place – and nearby residents were advised to evacuate as searches continued. Glen Road Community Centre had been opened to facilitate locals.
Last night Sinn Féin councillor Ronan McLaughlin slammed those responsible.
Councillor McLaughlin said, "Those responsible for this security alert bring nothing to this community but nuisance and disruption.
"On St Patrick's Day, a day that should be one of celebration, this is causing unnecessary disruption, forcing residents out of their homes.
"I would urge the public to avoid the Glen Road area while police deal with this security alert."
