The bomb squad is at the scene of an ongoing security alert in the Galliagh area of Derry.

A number of residents in Galliagh Park were moved from their homes after the discovery of a suspicious van in the early hours of this morning which had been hijacked earlier.

SDLP councillor for the area, Brian Tierney, said it was 'quite distressing' for residents of the area, especially young children.
