Some six searches have been conducted and on Monday two males, aged 26 and 34 were arrested in connection with “recent attempted paramilitary style attacks and a weapons find in the Strabane area in March this year.”
Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Hamlin said, “The men are currently in Musgrave Serious Crime Suite where they are being questioned.”
