Three people arrested by detectives investigating the attempted murder of two police officers in Strabane, County Tyrone have been released.

A 25-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man have been released unconditionally.

A 27-year-old woman also arrested in Strabane on Thursday has been released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.

Officers were on patrol on 17 November when a bomb exploded at the side of their vehicle.

Neither officer was injured in the blast, which happened near Mount Carmel Heights.

A number of items were seized following the search of a property, police said earlier on Thursday.

At the time of the attack, the officers were carrying out inquiries into anti-social behaviour in the area.

The New IRA later told a Belfast newspaper that it carried out the attack.

One man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of the police officers.
