Police Target Crime
Three people have been arrested and a suspected firearm seized in a 'targeted' PSNI operation.
The two men and one women were taken into custody following a search in the Antrim area yesterday.
The arrests were said by police to be "part of the PSNI's ongoing operation against organised crime" and the three are being questioned at the Antrim Serious Crime Suite.
Meanwhile, in other unrelated police action, antiques worth several hundred thousand pounds have been seized in Downpatrick, Co Down, police have said.
The seizure followed a planned search of a house in the Saul Road area on Wednesday morning.
A 61-year-old man was arrested and is being questioned in relation to the find.
The previous day, a haul of counterfeit clothing worth more than £75,000 was recovered by police in north Belfast.
They were discovered during a search of premises in Dargan Crescent on Tuesday afternoon.
The clothes and other items were taken away for forensic examination and a spokesperson said no arrests were made during the operation.
