PNSI investigate partially detonated device in shop

Saturday, May 10, 2008

PSNI are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a partially detonated device in a toy store in Co Down.

Army bomb experts were called out to the Toymaster store in Cookstown after the device was found hidden in a fast-food container on Friday evening.

The find follows phone calls to a media organisation evening that devices had been left in two businesses in the town.

The toy store and a supermarket were evacuated but no one was injured.

A PSNI spokesman said: "investigations into the exact nature of the object are continuing. Police in Cookstown would urge members of the public to be vigilant.

"If they come across any suspicious packages, or any boxes or packages with a suspicious object inside, to contact them immediately."
