UP TO six people were arrested by police during a security operation in west Belfast last night which was expected to continue through the night. The RUC said the arrests were made after a house was searched at Dermot Hill Road, off the Whiterock road. Those arrested were detained at Castlereagh detention centre and can be held for up to 48 hours. The RUC declined to say what they were looking for or whether anything had been found in the house.
Meanwhile, a section of the MSO at Greencastle, outside Belfast, was sealed off as British army bomb disposal experts checked a suspect vehicle. The all clear was given over an hour later when nothing was found.
