A 34 year old man was arrested under the Terrorism Act by detectives from PSNI’s Terrorism Investigation Unit earlier today.

He has been taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite for questioning.  A number of mobile phones, electronic tablets and a memory stick were also seized.

Speaking about the arrest, Detective Inspector Adrian Brown said: “As part of our investigations into ongoing dissident republican activity we have arrested a man earlier today.
