The RUC have uncovered a quantity of ammunition and bomb-making equipment after the search of a derelict house in south Belfast.

Army bomb experts are examining the material which was found after police responded to reports of suspicious activity in Pandora Street in the loyalist Donegall Road area.

Local RUC Inspector Stevie Clarke condemned those who had dumped the ammunition.

‘‘It is totally reckless to leave items such as this in a place where young children and other members of the public could have inadvertently come upon them.

‘‘I have no doubt that the recovery has averted potential death and destruction,’’ he said.
