A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a security alert that was declared an ‘elaborate hoax’ in Oldpark, north Belfast this morning.
He was arrested by the PSNI’s Terrorist Investigation under section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
The suspect has been taken to the serious crime suite at Musgrave PSNI station to be quizzed.
There he is also being questioned in connection with an incident during which a glass jar packed with fireworks and nails was set alight beneath the window of a house on Saturday.
