A package of suspected firearms has been discovered by detectives investigating a shooting incident in Co Tyrone.

Last week, a man in his 40s was treated for a suspected gunshot wound to the arm.

On Tuesday, police said investigating officers had arrested a 34-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman, who both remained in police custody Wednesday afternoon.

During related searches in the Coalisland area, detectives recovered a number of suspected firearms.

A police spokesman said: “They have been seized and will be sent for further tests.

“We would like to thank the community for their patience over the past two days.

“Our inquiries are ongoing and we will continue to appeal for anyone with information in relation to this incident to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 1369 of 30/10/24.”
