Our story of the dramatic happenings in Dunloy hit the streets on Tuesday night and by Friday, the police carried out drugs related searches.

One local source said: “I would say the police wanted to be seen to be doing something on this so that the ‘alternative police’ - as these gunmen would like to portray themselves - can’t be seen to be taking the lead.”
