A security alert caused by the discovery of a suspected World War Two grenade in Bridge Street, Portadown has now ended.

The device was discovered on Tuesday evening by a member of the public who had been fishing in the River Bann.

Police said ammunition technical officers attended the scene and confirmed it was a viable device.

A controlled explosion was carried out on the device, allowing police cordons to be lifted and roads to reopen.

Insp Browne said: "We would like to thank the public for their patience while we were dealing with this incident."
