In a statement tonight, Lisburn North Cllrs Gary Hynds and Pat Catney said: “Councillor Catney and I were informed after our committee meeting this evening, and we immediately went to Hillview Avenue together to speak with police and local residents.”
They added: “Hillview Avenue is a great area with many good people and families living within it, including elderly residents and personal friends of mine.
“I want to thank the PSNI and council staff for acting quickly and professionally in what is a very difficult situation. I hope the situation is resolved as soon as possible and that residents can return safely to their homes.”
