Searches have been carried out in a cemetary in Lurgan as part of investigations into dissident republican activity.
The operation at St Coleman's cemetery on Wednesday was part of a twelve day bust across Lurgan and Benburb.
Detective Inspector Brown said: “Yesterday’s search further demonstrates that we will continue to work with our communities to disrupt the activities of these reprehensible people. A quantity of prescription drugs were found and have been removed for further examination.
“I would appeal for anyone with information about any suspicious activity or about any of the items we have found over the last few weeks to get in contact with police on 101. Alternatively information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
Police say a string of items were seized including:
- 2 shotguns
- 4 handguns
- Explosives
- Fertiliser
- An improvised detonator
- A suspected mortar tube
- Component parts for bomb making
- Ammunition
- Tools
- Prescription drugs
- Mobile phones
