Oldpark councillor Gerry McCabe called on those responsible for planting a deliberate hoax device and causing disruption to the community in Ardoyne to ‘wise up’.
A controlled explosion was carried out on the object that was taped to a lamppost on Jamaica Road yesterday morning.
Dozens of residents were evacuated but they were able to return to their homes yesterday afternoon after police declared the object, which is believed to be baked bean cans taped together, a hoax.
“This prank is totally unacceptable because of the disruption caused to residents in Jamaica Road,” said Gerry.
“There are a lot of elderly people and young families living in this area and the last thing they need is to be put out of their homes because of a prank. I would call on the people who done this to wise up because it could very easily have been members of their own family that they are disrupting.”
