Gardai believe that a shotgun recovered in Cork city yesterday was used in an attack on a local man last weekend. The weapon was recovered when a man was arrested at Annalee Grove, Mayfield, at 9 a.m. He was detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, but was later released without charge.
The man is the third person to be arrested in connection with a gun attack on a 40-year-old man at his home in Mayfield last Sunday morning. Two 18-year-old men were arrested earlier this week, but were also released without charge. A file is being prepared for the DPP.
