Two guns and bullets were found in a hedge in a Co Fermanagh village during a weekend community litter pick, police have confirmed.
The weapons were discovered by a member of the public in the Baragh Gardens area of Ballinamallard on Saturday.
The area was cordoned off by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and army technical officers attended the scene.
All items have been seized and will now undergo forensic examination, the PSNI said on Sunday.
