Republicans today bitterly accused the police investigating the £22 million Northern Bank raid of a campaign of harassment against their community.
The claims were made as police carried out a number of searches of premises in the Dairy Farm business complex on the Stewartstown Road area of the city today.
This followed searches yesterday at the Blackstaff complex on the Springfield Road yesterday.
Sinn Fein Assembly member for West Belfast Mr Michael Ferguson said keyholders at the Dairy Farm centre had been ordered by police to turn up at their premises.
"This morning the PSNI once again have launched a series of planned attacks on properties throughout West Belfast. These have included searches on business premises and on community projects. This behaviour is completely unacceptable."
Mr Ferguson claimed police were acting at the behest of Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionists who had pointed the finger of suspicion at republicans.
"It has become very obvious in recent days that the securocrats still are holding the upper hand within the PSNI.
It was confirmed that nothing was recovered in connection with last week's robbery during yesterday's searches of the Blackstaff centre.
A number of dvds were seized during the police operation but they had no relation to the bank heist.
The spokeswoman added: "Police will continue to pursue every possible line of inquiry in this investigation."
