An improvised explosive device found outside a head shop in Co Donegal has been made safe by the Army.
The device was left on Pearse Road in Letterkenny overnight.
The area was evacuated before the bomb was made safe by the Army bomb disposal team shortly before 6.00am.
The area was declared safe and residents were allowed to return to their homes.
The incident is the latest in a series of attacks on head shops, which sell legal highs and drug paraphenalia, in recent months.
Earlier this month the Yutopia store on Connolly Street in Sligo was damaged by fire and two viable improvised explosive devices were discovered outside head shops in Athlone, Co Westmeath.
Two separate Dublin head shops were set ablaze in suspected arson attacks last month.
Residents nationwide have also staged protests outside head shops, while residents in Clontarf, north Dublin, secured a court order against the opening of a store.
