Five arrested after city gun find
Five men have been arrested and two guns recovered during a police operation in west Belfast.
Officers stopped a car and arrested the men on the Falls Road at about 2200 BST after an incident a few minutes earlier on the nearby St James Road.
It is understood a man was the target of a so-called punishment shooting in a house. It is believed that although a shot was fired, he was not injured.
The arrests took place during a police follow-up operation.
Dissident republican paramilitaries have been responsible for a series of similar shootings.
Army bomb disposal experts were called to examine the car that had been stopped.
As a result, the Falls Road was closed for a period between the junction with the Whiterock Road and the Falls bus depot.
The five men arrested from the vehicle have been taken to Antrim serious crime suite for questioning.
