Police in the North have arrested a sixth man in connection with last year's £26.5m (€39m) heist at Northern Bank headquarters in Belfast.

The 22-year-old man was arrested this morning in the Co Down village of Kilcoo.

A 23-year-old man from the same village was brought to court last week charged with carrying out last December's robbery. He was also charged with possession of a gun or imitation firearm and with falsely imprisoning a bank worker and his wife.

Meanwhile, a 43-year-old man who was also among the five arrested last week, is due in court later today.
