The object, which has been declared as a viable suspected pipe bomb, has been removed and taken away for further forensic examination. It is believed that this device was put through the window of the house and has exploded. This has caused damage to the property, but could have led to the occupants being badly injured or even killed.
An elderly couple have had a device thrown through their window in what must have been a shocking and distressing attack on their home. There is no excuse for it. The people responsible have caused an immense amount of disruption for this family and the local community.
There is no place or excuse for this type of activity. I would urge anyone with information on this incident to bring it forward to the PSNI.
