A suspicious device left at Alliance's East Belfast office last night has been declared a hoax.
Explosives experts were called in to deal with the suspect package on Friday night and roads around the Newtownards Road office were sealed off for some time.
The constituency office of East Belfast MP Naomi Long has been targeted a number of times in the past, more recently by petrol bomb attack.
Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle, who shares the office with Naomi Long, said: "This incident is yet another attack on the hardworking Alliance team in east Belfast who serve everyone in the community.
"Alliance will continue to work for everyone in east Belfast and this incident will not deter us from serving our constituency on the mandate we have been given."
