An attempt to attack a police station is likely a “sad and futile” bid by dissident republicans to “make themselves relevant” ahead of the anniversary of the Easter Rising, a senior officer has said.

Police said a delivery driver was lured to Kilwilkie estate in Lurgan on Monday night where he was hijacked and forced to drive a “crude but viable” device to the town’s police station.
