Eight people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act after what's been described as an illegal parade in Lurgan.
The PSNI says it wasn't notified about the event and a number of those involved were wearing masks and paramilitary style uniforms.
A ninth person has been held on suspicion of assaulting an officer in the Kilwilkie area of the town this afternoon
We're told a woman was injured as police broke up the march and she's been taken to hospital.
Following an un-notified procession by 8 masked men in paramilitary style uniforms in Levin Rd Lurgan, we have arrested 9 suspects, including all the masked men. Those arrested do not reflect the good people of north Lurgan & many are not from that community.

DUP Upper Bann MLA Carla Lockhart said, "It is good to see a robust operation to prevent this illegality rather than a follow up arrest operation some weeks later. I congratulate the PSNI Commanders who authorised this operation and the officers on the ground who implemented this plan effectively.”
