Man arrested under the Terrorism Act has now been released, say police

A man arrested under the Terrorism Act in Derry/Londonderry on Tuesday morning (November 8) has now been released after questioning, police have said.

The 25-year-old was initially detained under the Terrorism Act by officers from the Derry City police force’s Terrorism Investigation Unit. This followed reports of shots being at a bonfire in the city back in August.

Officers also undertook a number of searches and items were seized for further examination. The investigation continues.

Detective Inspector Clara Heaton said: “Today’s arrest and searches are part of an ongoing investigation into criminal activity and a number of items have been seized and removed for further examination. Enquiries are still ongoing into this incident, which was reported on Monday 15 August.

"Anyone with information or who may have captured footage that may assist enquiries, is asked to call police on 101. Please quote reference number 2217 of 15/08/22.

“Alternatively you can submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.”
