Police have reportedly uncovered a “significant terrorist hide” containing bomb components and explosives at a County Antrim country park.
The haul was found at Carnfunnock in Ballygarry near Larne by police this morning.
According to
BBC, police found barrels that contained “a significant amount of bomb-making components including partially constructed devices and a small quantity of explosives".
Speaking about the discovery, Detective Chief Inspector Gillian Kearney said:
"All of these items will be subjected to a detailed forensic examination.
"Until this has been completed, it is too early to link these items to any particular grouping, but we are following a number of lines of enquiry.
"I would ask the public to remain vigilant, wherever they are and whatever they are doing.
"If people report suspicious activity to police, we will act on it to keep people safe.
"We apologise that the park will remain closed for some time while a full clearance operation is carried out, but I hope people will understand the need to put public safety first."
The discovery follows news that two explosive devices found in separate alerts in west Belfast on Saturday.
