Dungiven: Men arrested over PSNI poster released on bail

The poster was placed in the Chapel Road area of Dungiven

Two men arrested in connection with a poster put up at a bus shelter that linked three people to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) have been released on bail.

The poster was put up in Dungiven, County Londonderry, on Thursday.

The PSNI has said the information contained on it was incorrect.

The men, aged 38 and 58, were arrested on Sunday on suspicion of possession of material for terrorist purposes and other related offences.

They were released on bail to allow further police enquiries that night.

PSNI Det Ch Insp Hamilton said the police's investigation is continuing and appealed again to the public for information.

The incident followed a data breach last month, when the names of 10,000 officers and civilian staff were mistakenly released in a Freedom of Information request.

On Friday, Ass Ch Con Chris Todd said the bus shelter poster was a "clear attempt to intimidate police officers, staff and their families".

He said additional security and patrols had been implemented across Northern Ireland as part of the police's response, and that individuals and families affected by the contents of the poster had been contacted.
