Dundonald International Ice Bowl has been evacuated following reports of a suspicious object.

Police and emergency services are currently at the leisure complex on the Old Dundonald Road in Dundonald.

Writing on social media, East Belfast MP Gavin Robinson said a 200-meter cordon is in place.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland has advised members of the public to avoid the area.

The Ice Bowl opened in 1986 and has more than 500,000 visitors a year.

The centre is undergoing a multi-million pound redevelopment.

During construction, the existing ice bowl has remained open for business with full access to all activities.

The redeveloped complex is expected to open next year.
