Capanagh Forest: 'Terrorist hide' found in woods near Larne

A "terrorist hide" containing what are believed to be bomb-making components has been found in a forest in County Antrim, police have said.

The discovery was made at Capanagh Forest near Larne after two members of the public found suspicious objects in the woods on Saturday evening.

Police have removed the items for forensic examination.

They are trying to establish if there is a link to a find at Carnfunnock Country Park near Larne in March.
