ACC George Hamilton blamed UDA for Larne attacks

DETECTIVES in Larne have arrested a 44 year old man under the Terrorism Act in connection with the attacks and disorder in Larne on Sunday 30th March.

He has been taken to Antrim Serious Crime Suite for questioning.

This is the fourth arrest in connection with the incident in which a 100-strong masked mob attacked a number of homes in the town.

It brings to six the number of people arrested as part of this investigation.
