Arrests As Republican Activity Targeted
Police have carried out a number of planned searches in the Craigavon area as part of an operation against dissident republican activity. Seven men have been arrested.
This is said to be a major operation involving local police, detectives from Crime Operations Department and specialist Tactical Support Groups.
The local police commander, Chief Inspector Pauline Shields, said: “This is an important and necessary operation. It is about targeting dissident republican criminals. Like all policing operations it is intelligence-led. The aim is to make the Craigavon area a safer place for everyone.
“I hope that people will understand what police are doing and why, and will support our efforts to take criminals off the backs of local communities. Unfortunately there will be some disruption in the areas where the searches are taking place," she said.
