John Boreland Murder: Three Men Arrested
Three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of prominent loyalist John Boreland.
Mr Boreland was fatally shot in the Sunningdale Gardens area on Sunday, 07 August.
Two men, aged 33 and 61, were arrested in north Belfast and the other man, aged 29, was arrested in Scotland.
All three have been detained at Musgrave Police Station.
Detective Chief Inspector Justyn Galloway from PSNI Serious Crime Branch, said: "Officers have travelled to Scotland to assist colleagues from Police Scotland with the arrest and related searches.
"The investigation is progressing and I would again appeal for information about a silver Renault Megane car which was used by the killers. The car, registration number GJZ 4870, was in the Ballysillan area of north Belfast in the days leading up to the murder on Sunday 07 August.
"We are still very keen to hear from anyone who saw it, saw who was in it and where it had been parked. We are re-issuing two photos of a similar vehicle to enhance our appeal.
"We are also interested in talking to anyone who saw the Megane between the Sunday night of the shooting and when it was found partially burnt out at the old quarry on Wheelers Road near Lisburn on the morning of Tuesday 09 August.
"The car has been the subject of a detailed forensic examination and I would ask anyone with information about the vehicle to contact detectives on the non-emergency number 101 or use the independent charity Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 where they can provide information anonymously."
