Tre arresti nella Repubblica per attività repubblicana

Three arrested over dissident activity

Detectives have arrested three men suspected of being involved in dissident republican activity during a raid near the Irish border.

A handgun was seized during the search at a house in Belturbet, Co Cavan, in the Irish Republic.

Garda sources said the operation was not related to the car bomb attack on a Catholic police officer in County Antrim.

The three men – aged 38, 39 and 44 years – include two brothers from Lurgan, Co Armagh and another man from Co Tyrone.

They are being questioned about suspected membership of an illegal organisation.

It is believed they have been living in Belturbet for a few months.

One is being detained at Ballyconnell Garda station while the other two are being questioned at Cavan Garda station under section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.

“These arrests are not related to the attack in Randalstown,” said a Garda source.
