County Derry Road closed as police conduct 'proactive policing operation'

The Feeny Road is closed this morning as police conduct a 'proactive policing operation' in the area.

The road is closed at its junction with Altinure Road while traffic is being diverted off Feeny Main Street onto Glenedra Road.

It is understood the policing operation in the Feeny Road/Killunaught Road area relates to a report of suspicious activity earlier this week.

Inspector Smyth said: "A number of roads have been closed and we would like to thank members of the public and those living in the area for their patience.

"We would also remind members of the public living in, or travelling through these areas, to be vigilant and not to touch anything suspicious but to contact police immediately by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency quoting reference 1747 10/03/2022."
