Man Charged Over Lurgan Police Station Incident
A 48-year-old man has been formally charged with attempted murder following an attack on a police station in Lurgan that occurred in March.
In addition to the attempted murder charge, he faces accusations of attempting to cause an explosion, hijacking, and possession of explosives with the intent to endanger life or cause property damage.
Details of the Incident
Approximately six weeks ago, two masked individuals, one of whom was armed with a firearm, hijacked a delivery driver. They threatened the driver with death if he did not transport a bomb to a police station.
The incident prompted the evacuation of residents from about 100 homes in the vicinity.
Legal Proceedings
The man is scheduled to appear at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Friday, 8 May.
Separately, on Wednesday, a woman was charged with obstructing police during the investigation into the attack.
