in 1989, twenty-eight udr soldiers were arrested as part of the stevens inquiries into alleged collusion with loyalist paramilitaries. twenty-six belonged to the same company of 7/10 udr. six were later awarded damages. one was charged with activities linked to loyalist paramilitaries. the stephens team caused "intense anger" as three hundred police had been used to surround the homes of suspects. this had identified them as udr soldiers to their neighbours, potentially putting their lives at risk. eleven moved house as a result, while the homes of eighteen others were provided with "additional security measures" at a cost of £25,000.
