Cash and mobile phones have been seized by police investigating criminality linked to the West Belfast UDA.

It’s after a search of a house in Ballyvester Grove in Bangor under the Misuse of Drugs Act. The items have been taken away for further forensic examination.

Officers from the PSNI’s Paramilitary Crime Task Force (PCTF) were assisted by officers from the Tactical Support Group (TSG).

Detective Sergeant Gourley said: “This morning’s proactive operation is a demonstration of the PCTF’s commitment to tackle all types of criminality linked to paramilitaries, in an ongoing effort to rid our communities of the harm these groups cause and of their coercive control.
