South Belfast Alliance MLA Anna Lo has condemned those behind a hoax security alert at Cadogan Park near Lisburn Road police station. The hoax object was found at around 9.20pm last night and a number of business premises were evacuated.

Anna Lo MLA said: "This hoax alert caused a real nuisance for those in the area and I am deeply annoyed at those involved.

"Sickening incidents like this hurt businesses when they cannot carry on with their work. It's despicable that people wish to cause upset and disruption through irresponsible actions like this. People want to live free from fear and without being subjected to situations like this. Actions such as these strengthen people's resolve to continue moving Northern Ireland forward to a better future. Anyone with information on this incident must contact police immediately so that those involved can be brought to justice."
