Woman Charged in Lurgan Police Station Bomb Probe as Investigation Continues
Police in Lurgan charged a 39-year-old woman with obstructing them during an investigation into a bomb incident at Lurgan Police Station. The attack occurred on March 30 when two masked men forced a fast food delivery driver at gunpoint to take a viable briefcase-sized explosive device to the station in his vehicle.
The driver escaped after arriving and alerted security staff. Ammunition Technical Officers dealt with the device while around 100 homes were evacuated.
Officers arrested the woman in the Lurgan area on May 6. They released her unconditionally on charges of perverting the course of justice and assisting an offender. She will appear at Craigavon Magistrates Court on June 2, with the Public Prosecution Service to review the charge.
A 15-year-old boy arrested the same day was released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service. A 48-year-old man arrested on May 6 remains in custody.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland continues its probe into the incident. Detectives seek information from the public and can be contacted on 101, quoting reference 1828 of 30/03/26. Crimestoppers offers anonymous reporting on 0800 555 111.
