The arrests are in connection with an incident in 2019 during which a number of individuals holding firearms posed for a photograph in front of INLA graffiti in the Galliagh area.

Detective Inspector Boyd said, “This is part of an ongoing investigation into the criminality of the INLA in the North West. The breadth and depth of their criminality has a major impact on our communities in Londonderry and Strabane.

“The INLA claim to be protecting their communities by shooting people they accuse of being involved in crime. In reality, it is they who use violence and intimidation to control and exploit their communities.”
