An MLA has condemned security alerts at a school and a constituency office in North Belfast.
Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly said that police contacted him regarding a report of a device being left in the grounds of his party's constituency office on the Antrim Road.
It was searched, however no device was found.
A security alert at Holy Cross Girls' School in Ardoyne ended after nothing untoward was found.
A PSNI spokesman said: "The searches followed the report that a device had been left in the area but nothing has been found."
PSNI Inspector Uel Boyd said earlier: “The reports were made to police at around 12.45pm.
“The first report was that a device had been left in the vicinity of a school on Ardoyne Road, while the second report was about a device being left in the vicinity of premises on the Antrim Road.
“Police conducted searches of the Antrim Road area however, no device was located. No roads were closed and no homes or businesses were evacuated."
Mr Kelly said: "I was in our constituency office on the Antrim Road when the PSNI contacted me to say they had reports of an explosive device being left in the grounds.
"There was also a security alert at Holy Cross Girls School.
"The targeting of a primary school in this way is despicable and regardless of whether there was a device or not the disruption and anxiety it will have caused to young children and staff must be condemned.
"The police have told me that they believe it was loyalists who were responsible for both incidents.
"They are trying to drag our society back and trying to deter public representatives from their work but they will not succeed.
"Sinn Féin will not be deterred and we will continue to serve the community and to pursue our political objectives."
