Police officer arrested over guns

It has emerged that a police officer has been arrested and questioned about the illegal possession of firearms.

A number of weapons were found at premises in Aghadowey, near Coleraine, last week and at a gun shop in Portglenone in County Antrim.

The officer has been released on bail pending further inquiries.

It is understood the weapons involved are a collection of old military-type guns and are not thought to be terrorist-related.
