Arrests in police dissident probe

TWO men continue to be questioned by detectives investigating dissident republican activity in the west of the Province.

Police have disclosed that planned searches took place by the crime operations division in Fermanagh and Tyrone on Wednesday.

A number of items were seized for examination during the raids in Enniskillen, Irvinestown and Drumquin.

A police spokesperson confirmed the operation was focussing on dissident republicans.

Earlier this week, the PSNI revealed renegade republicans in their estimation would have approximately 80-100 active members.

Dissidents have been blamed for numerous murder attempts on police officers this year.
