Police in Northern Ireland are continuing to question a man today following a significant seizure of weapons and paramilitary equipment in Co Antrim. A bible was also found in the cache.
Police said two sawn-off shotguns, a single-barrelled shotgun and three handguns were uncovered during a search of a house in the Drumtara area of Ballymena yesterday.
Also seized were component parts for pipe bombs, a quantity of ammunition, balaclava masks and cudgels.
During the security operation, which continued for much of the day, several homes in the area were evacuated.
A second man who was arrested at the scene was later released without charge.
Free Presbyterian Minister Rev David McIlveen says he will complain to the PSNI chief constable after a bible linked to his church was exhibited by police as being among the arms find.
Rev McIlveen said the bible's message was contrary to any paramilitary activity: "When we present bibles to people, and I am not ashamed of distributing the bible to people, we cannot be responsible for the persons who then take up that bible.
"It is a misuse of the bible, both by the police and by the paramilitary movement.
