Part of Lough Erne was closed off
A decades-old munition has been discovered near Enniskillen police station.
It was found during building work nearby, prompting a security alert, with flats and a park evacuated and a cordon placed on part of Lough Erne.
PSNI chief inspector Graham Dodds said: “During building work in the vicinity of the station earlier today what was believed to be a historic piece of munition, possibly from the First or Second World Wars, was discovered.
He added: “The scene has now been cleared and local residents who were evacuated have been allowed home.”
During the war, Enniskillen police station was an Army barracks.
The inspector added: “We can confirm what had been unearthed was part of old munitions that posed no danger to the public.”
