A security alert which resulted in the evacuation of a shopping mall in Portadown earlier today has been declared a hoax.
The mall at High Street was evacuated following a telephone warning about a "suspicious package" later discovered in an underground car park.
A van, parked in the underground car park at High Street Portadown, contained the suspicious item and the RUC began an evacuation process at 2.30 p.m. today which extended into Woodhouse Street.
