Speaking on the issue Carla Lockhart MP said, 

“There is currently a serious security alert in Lurgan town centre, centred around the police station, involving a suspicious vehicle.

The town centre has been completely closed off and is likely to remain so for a significant period of time. This will inevitably cause major disruption to the area, and we ask everyone to avoid the vicinity and follow all guidance from authorities.

For those affected, Lurgan Town Hall has been opened to provide refuge and support for anyone who has been evacuated.

This is not something anyone wants to see in our society today. The situation is deeply concerning, and I would strongly urge anyone who may have any information to come forward and report it to the PSNI immediately.

I want to utterly and unequivocally condemn what has happened tonight in Lurgan. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, and we hope for a safe and swift resolution.

Please stay safe and look out for one another.”
