Five men have been arrested in connection with an illegal parade in Derry - Londonderry on Monday.
Petrol bombs were thrown at police as masked men in paramiltary uniform marched towards the city cemetery for Easter commemorations.
The men, aged between 29 and 50, were detained at a Republican support office in the chamberlain Street area earlier.
Chief Inspector Paul McCracken said: "Immediately after the parade and the attack on local police officers on Monday, we had said that robust action would be taken against those who orchestrated the violence and those who participated.
These searches and arrests are the first phase of that action and more will follow in coming days. Those who seek to attack police and bring violence onto the streets can expect to be held accountable for their actions."
The men arrested are aged aged 29,31,42,45 and 50 .
