The North's Prison Service has begun a security review at its headquarters in the Stormont estate after claims that republicans may have stolen documents from inside the building.

Around 30 republican protestors forced their way into the building on Wednesday during a demonstration over IRA prisoners being forced to share cells with loyalists.

Prison officers said they feared the protestors may have seen documents on the desk of an office on the sixth floor.

A spokesman said the Prison Service had done its best to secure confidential files during the protest.
