Two people have been charged with firearms offences after police found suspected guns during a search linked to a shooting in Co Tyrone last month.
The suspected firearms were discovered hidden under a bath at a home in Co Tyrone.
Pictures released by the police from the Coalisland home show some of the suspected guns hidden under the bath panel, with other guns found in the property including what appears to be a shotgun type weapon and rifle.
The seizure comes following a reported shooting in the area last week.
On Tuesday two people, a 34-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman arrested in connection with the shooting have now been charged with firearms offences.
They will appear before Strabane Magistrates Court on Thursday November 7.
As is normal procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
A police spokesperson said: “Detectives have been carrying out numerous searches in the area yesterday and today, and located a number of suspected firearms. They have been seized and will be sent for further testing.
“We would like to thank the community for their patience over the last couple of days.”
Suspected firearms discovered in Co Tyrone
The victim – a man in his 40s – had attended hospital following the incident, which was then reported to the police.
“He stated that while sitting in a vehicle, he was approached by two men who he believed to be local to the area. A suspected firearm was put through the window of his vehicle and he was shot to his arm,” a PSNI spokesperson said at the time.
“It’s appalling that anyone should be attacked in this way, especially in the early evening when the area would have been busy with shoppers and commuters.
“There is no place in our society for this type of vigilante justice and we are fortunate that the outcome was not much more serious.”
