Image Released Of Guns And Ammunition Seized In West Belfast

The PSNI have released an image of weapons and ammunition seized during a house search in west Belfast.

Four guns and a quantity of ammunition were discovered at a property in the Norglen area on Saturday, 24 June.

Detective Inspector Peter Mullan said: "The type of weapons and ammunition recovered are similar to those used in shooting attacks against members of this community, and their seizure by police has undoubtedly frustrated the activity of individuals intent on creating fear on our streets."

Investigations are ongoing.
