Gobnascale, Derry, security alert follows three overnight hoaxes Police are dealing with a new security alert in Londonderry, in the same area where three hoax bomb alerts caused overnight disruption for residents. It follows the discovery of a suspicious object on Strabane Old Road shortly after 09:00 GMT. Overnight, the police and Army dealt with three suspicious objects in the Gobnascale area - two of which were also found on Strabane Old Road. The earlier three alerts were declared to be hoaxes but the latest is ongoing. About 50 homes in Gobnascale were evacuated overnight while Army bomb disposal officers examined the objects. The first was found at Mimosa Court at about 00:55 GMT, the second on Strabane Old Road about 20 minutes later and the final one in the same area shortly before 01:50 GMT. All three objects were declared to be elaborate hoaxes. On Friday morning, police asked residents in Strabane Old Road to leave their homes again due to the new alert. However, as many had spent the night out of their properties, some did not want to leave again. They have been asked to remain at the rear of their homes while the object is examined.
