A security alert which caused the evacuation of a shopping mall in Drogheda was sparked by a hoax.

The incident began when gardaí received a phone call claiming a bomb had been left in the credit union on Laurence's St in the Co Louth town.

The street was sealed off for a time as staff and shoppers were moved out of the area while gardaí carried out a search.
