Three Arrested Following Security Alert in Glenarm
Detectives have arrested three people following a security alert in Glenarm on Monday, 6th April.
The incident began shortly after 10:00 am when police received reports of a suspicious device in the Feystown Road area. Ammunition Technical Officers (ATO) attended the scene and carried out a controlled explosion on the object, which was subsequently confirmed to be a viable device.
Two men, aged 43 and 47, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of obstructing police and performing an act with intent to cause an explosion likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property. Both individuals remain in police custody at this time.
A woman in her 70s was also arrested on suspicion of obstructing police. She has since been released and will be reported to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS).
Detective Inspector Lenaghan said: "Enquiries are ongoing and I am appealing to anyone who may have been in the Feystown Road between 4:00 am and 5:00 am on Monday 6th April and witnessed anyone suspicious or to anyone with CCTV or other footage that could assist with the investigation, to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference 401 06/04/26."
