Police have recovered and made safe an improvised explosive device and removed a number of items from a house search in Keady.
Police carried out the search – supported by military personnel – yesterday (July 7) at a property on the Tassagh Road in relation to the discovery of a number of attempted improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Police say the operation is being led by An Garda Síochána.
The items and the device were seized and taken away for further forensic examinations.
Officers carried out a search at the location in support of an investigation by An Garda Síochána in Monaghan.
Enquiries are continuing and at this stage, police are investigating a potential link between this search and a security alert which occurred at the Ballyards Road area of Milford in Armagh on Tuesday July 1.
Detective Inspector Winters said: “Our enquiries are continuing in relation to this investigation, as we work closely with our colleagues from An Garda Síochána.
“We would appeal to anyone who may be able to assist to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 361 07/07/25.
