A firearm has been recovered by police investigating the activities of dissident republicans.
Searches led by detectives from the PSNI ’s Terrorism Investigation Unit took place in the Kildrum Gardens area of Derry over the weekend.
The probe is part of a wider campaign focusing on the New IRA following the shooting of DCI John Caldwell four weeks ago in Omagh, Co Tyrone. DCI Caldwell remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital. The gun attack was later claimed by the New IRA in a statement posted on to a wall in Derry.Speaking about the arms find, Detective Inspector O'Flaherty said: “The planned search was conducted in the Kildrum Gardens area.
“A suspected firearm was recovered during the search. The firearm has been exposed to the elements and is in poor condition. It will be subject to further examination. “We understand the impact operational activity can have upon the day-to-day lives of local residents, please be assured we seek to maximise safety and minimise any disruption with any planned activity. Our primary focus is keeping our community safe."We are grateful for the continued support of local communities as we continue our work to disrupt those involved in terrorism-related activity.
