A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances in Castlewellan.
It follows a planned search at a property in the Bann Road area yesterday.
A gun and quantity of suspected ammunition were seized during the operation.
Yesterday's search was conducted by detectives investigating criminality in the area and was supported by colleagues from Ardmore District Support Team.
Detective Sergeant Bell said: "Police work to keep people and communities safe.
“We are committed to identifying, pursuing and arresting anyone suspected of involvement in criminality and to seeing them convicted for their crimes.
“I would appeal to anyone with information about criminality in their area to call 101. Alternatively, information can be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
