Londonderry: Police say suspected firearm discovered

Police from the PSNI's Terrorism Investigation Unit have recovered a suspected firearm in Londonderry.

A spokesman for the PSNI said it was discovered in Derry's Ardmore area.

A PSNI spokesman said: “We are keeping an open mind in relation to the ownership of this find, and we appeal to anyone who has information, or who noticed any suspicious activity in the area recently to get in touch with us.

“It is shocking to think this suspected firearm was left in the vicinity of a graveyard, a place where people visit and pay their respects to loved ones. It shows a blatant lack of respect for local people and the local community.”
