ONH blamed for carrying out gun attack on north Belfast home

DETECTIVES from the PSNI’s Terrorist Investigation Unit have charged a man with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

The 33 year old man was arrested earlier this week in connection with a gun attack in Velsheda Court, Ardoyne, in north Belfast on September 3.

He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court tomorrow, Thursday 30 October.

Two other men, aged 31, and 41 were arrested during searches at four properties in the north and west of the city on Monday.

They were released without charge yesterday.

The gun attack – first revealed by Belfast Daily at the time – was blamed on dissident republican group Oglaigh na hEireaan (ONH).

At the time of their arrests, Detective Superintendent Kevin Geddes, from the TIU said: “The suspects are being interviewed at Antrim police station about a gun attack at a house in Velsheda Court on 3 September.

“A young family who were home at the time escaped injury.

“Police enquiries are continuing and I would ask anyone with information about the incident to contact police.”
