David Ford MLA said: “I am absolutely appalled at this find. This type of incident send out a very negative message at a time when it’s essential that we attract more businesses and tourists here. This is exactly the type of news Northern Ireland needs to avoid.
“Those behind this device are seeking to cause fear and disruption. Their despicable agenda must never prevail. Anyone with information on this find should contact police immediately to assist them with their investigation.”
