A woman arrested in Newtownabbey as part of an investigation into North Belfast UVF has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

The 37 year old was arrested yesterday over potential links to paramilitary organised crime and misconduct in public office.

It's understood the suspect was a serving prison officer in Northern Ireland.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland say they're currently working to crack down on organised crime through the paramilitary task force.

One of its's main targets is interupting Ulster Volunteer Force activity.
