Four people were arrested today as police seized weapons in Belfast.
It is reported the find includes a number of high-powered AK47 rifles.
The guns were found and the arrests made during a search of a house in the nationalist Ballymurphy area in the west of the city.
A police spokesman said the operation at the house in New Barnsley Crescent was part of an investigation into dissident republicans in west Belfast.

The area around the house was sealed off while a British army bomb-disposal team searched it. The guns are understood to have been hidden behind the house.
