A 48-year-old man has been arrested following an operation in Dungannon yesterday after reports that a gun was pointed at a taxi driver.
Police confirmed on Tuesday the man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm or imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
They said he currently remains in police custody.
