The security alert in Oldpark, north Belfast, has been declared a deliberate hoax.

British army technical officers have left the scene and residents are returning to their homes.

A man in his 30s was arrested under terrorism legislation in connection with the hoax call.

Around 200 homes were evacuated yesterday when the security alert was declared.
