Police are conducting searches in Derry- Londonderry this afternoon linked to an illegal parade in the city last weekend. 

Groups of young people attacked PSNI land rovers with petrol bombs and bricks, whilst masked men in paramilitary uniforms lead a parade. 

The events in Creggan were condemned by the main political parties as it didn't adhere to parades commission rulings.

Police say they attempted to work with the organisers of Monday's event to allow it to go ahead within the law.

However, officers say the group did not engage in the attempts to resolve the issues.  

Searches are currently underway at a property in Chamberlain Street in the city.  

The PSNI says there are no further details.
