"There are a number of homes and businesses located in the vicinity of this alert and this is the last thing people want to be dealing with when trying to go about their lives.
“I would ask people to avoid the area while this alert continues and I hope that police will have the situation resolved as soon as possible so that residents can return to their homes and the roads impacted can be reopened.
“Nobody wants to see scenes like this in our community, people in this area want to live in peace without incidents like this getting in the way.”
