Trevor Lunn MLA said: “I am outraged that these elderly residents had to be evacuated from the home because of the actions of these thoughtless thugs. This caused real disruption and was undoubtedly a very traumatic experience for the residents.
“This hoax meant that valuable police time was wasted when it could have been better spent on fighting crime.
“If anybody has any information about this alert then they should contact the police.”
