41-year-old man has been arrested in connection with criminal activity linked to the north Antrim UDA. 

The suspect was detained under the terrorism act following a search operation in Coleraine and remains in custody. 

Police have vowed to keep disrupting paramilitary gangs as they try and exploit and control people in our communities. 

Detective Inspector Brennan said: “A 41 year old man was arrested under the Terrorism Act and is currently in police custody.  

“North Antrim UDA remain a priority for the PCTF due to the harm that they continue to cause to the local community

“Paramilitaries claim to protect local people but in reality they exploit them and use violence or the threat of violence to control and intimidate

“Working with our partners and communities we are committed to tackling the criminality of these groups.”
