Paramilitary Crime Task Force seizes items following searches in North Belfast

Officers from the PSNI Paramilitary Crime Task Force have seized cash and mobile phones during searches on three properties in North Belfast on Friday.

The searches were part of an ongoing investigation into suspected criminality linked to the West Belfast UDA.

Detective Inspector Corrigan said: “Today’s searches reflect our ongoing commitment to safeguarding local people.

“We will continue to work with our partners in the Paramilitary Crime Task Force to disrupt the activities of those who make their living from crime.  They use a regime of fear to exercise control over the most vulnerable in our society, and care nothing about the lives ruined along the way."
