Arrests after Shankill arms find
Two men and a woman have been arrested following an arms find in the loyalist lower Shankill in Belfast last night.
In a planned house search, police recovered a firearm and a quantity of ammunition. The three are assisting police with their inquiries.
The house in which the find was made is in an area controlled by Johnny Adair's C Company – the gang which is engaged in a bitter internal feud with the UDA.
It is widely believed that it was the Adair faction which carried out the murder of UDA chief John Gregg in Belfast at the weekend.
Elsewhere, two men and a teenager have been arrested and charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
The charges relate to the find of a firearm in a car in the Westland Drive area of north Belfast on Sunday morning.
The three, aged 17, 21 and 22, are expected to appear in Laganside Magistrates Court today.
