Bomb squad rushes to two suspicious devices found inside bag outside shop
A bomb squad was deployed in Dublin after two suspicious devices were found in a bag outside a shop.
This morning, bomb disposal experts from the Defence Forces were called to Ballyfermot Road in Dublin following the discovery of two suspicious devices inside a bag outside a local shop. The Gardaà alerted the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team at approximately 10:10 AM, which prompted an urgent response and a closure of the road for public safety. The nature of the devices prompted concern and the need for professional assessment.
Upon arrival, bomb squad officers examined the suspicious devices and safely retrieved them along with additional equipment for further investigation. Authorities ensured that the area was secured during the operation to keep the public safe while the situation was assessed. At this time, there was no immediate information about the nature of the devices, which left the community in a state of apprehension as the incident unfolded.
After the examination, the devices were removed from the scene, and the road remained closed while investigations were ongoing. Once the situation was declared safe, control of the scene was returned to An Garda SÃochána, who are likely to conduct further inquiries into the incident to establish the devices' origin and potential intentions behind their placement.
