Two Arrested After Catholics Forced To Flee Homes In East Belfast
Two people have been arrested after four Catholic families were forced to leave their homes in east Belfast after receiving threats.
The families lived in the Cantrell Close area.
The PSNI claimed the threats were from the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF).
The men, aged 37 and 40, have been detained under the Terrorism Act on suspicion of membership of a proscribed organisation.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Reid said: "Police are continuing to investigate the intimidation of families in Cantrell Close and the Chief Constable has recently said he believes the UVF are responsible for this.
"Today's arrests are part of our ongoing investigation into the UVF in East Belfast, including the intimidation of families in Cantrell Close."
