'Terrorists can expect a knock on the door'
THOSE involved in terrorist activity should expect a "knock on the door", a top PSNI officer has said.
Craigavon area commander, Chief Inspector Jason Murphy, said the net was closing in on those involved in terrorist activity.
"The law does not discriminate - if you're involved you're involved, it's as black and white as that," Mr Murphy told the Lurgan Mail.
"Whether you are preparing hoax devices, storing firearms, disposing of evidence or directly carrying out attacks we will not leave a stone unturned and all links will be investigated.
"Our investigations are not simply about arresting the one or two people who actually carry out an attack, but everyone involved.
"My message to those connected in any way to terrorist activity is to stop what you're doing and consider the consequences. If you persist, expect my officers to knock on your door."
Chief Inspector Murphy also talked about the events surrounding the murder of Constable Stephen Carroll by the Continuity IRA in Craigavon a year ago.
For him and many of his officers it was the first time they had lost a colleague, murdered in the line of duty.
He spoke about the pride he had in the dedication and commitment of police officers in the immediate aftermath of the murder, the speed with which the investigation took off and the huge outpouring of sympathy from across the world.
Mr Murphy said the policing situation in Craigavon was "unique".
But he said police had made progress in the last year in creating strong links within the community, particularly in nationalist and republican areas.
"It's totally bizarre to talk about the positives arising out of the murder of a colleague, but there have been significant steps forward in policing."
