Detectives have conducted a search of a property as part of the ongoing investigation into a series of attacks linked to a feud between drugs gangs in Co Down.
A number of properties were attacked in the last week as part of the conflict which police have blamed on expelled members of the UDA.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Officers, assisted by officers from the Tactical Support Group, and from local response teams, conducted a search of a property in the Newtownards area.
