Man arrested under Terrorism Act in Derry

A man has been arrested in Derry under the Terrorism Act, following the search of two properties on Monday night.

The 40-year-old was taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Musgrave Police Station for questioning.

The search was carried out by the Paramilitary Crime Task Force, assisted by the Police Service’s Tactical Support Group, and local district officers.

Detective Inspector Corrigan said: “The search, and subsequent arrest, is part of an investigation into the activities of the INLA in the north west.

“Two houses were searched and, at one of the properties, a mobile phone was seized and a man arrested.”

“We’re grateful for the support of our partner organisations and of local communities; and I’m keen to reiterate our appeal for anyone with information, or indeed concerns, to contact detectives on 101.”
