Bomb-making equipment found in Keady
A large quantity of suspected bomb-making equipment has been uncovered by police, during an ongoing operation against dissident republican activity in south Armagh.
The find was made by officers from the PSNI’s Serious Crime Branch, as searches were carried out in the Keady area on Saturday.
According to a police spokeswoman, no further arrests have been made.
It comes after three “significant” arrests were made during a cross-border operation by the PSNI and An Garda Síochána in the area on Friday. Weapons and ammunition were also seized.
The three men who were detained were taken to Antrim Serious Crime Suite, where they’re still being questioned.
Meanwhile, the public is still being urged to be vigilant – particularly over the Easter holidays – as the PSNI has been placed on full alert due to the terror threat.
Police have warned that a murder bid on officers by dissidents is likely over the coming days or weeks and have asked for public support as they “take all appropriate and legitimate steps” to minimise the threat.
