Three Men Arrested During Probe Into Mosque on Bonfire in Tyrone Village
Police detained three men aged 27, 38 and 51 as the investigation continues into offensive materials placed on a bonfire, officials said.
- On Tuesday, police arrested five men aged 27, 38, 51, 74, and 58 in the Moygashel area of Tyrone following searches connected to a July bonfire investigation.
- The July bonfire featured a replica mosque and signs reading 'Secure our borders' and 'End the threat of radical Islam,' which a High Court judge described as a 'monument to hatred.'
- Mid Ulster District Commander Superintendent Peter Stevenson said the 'investigation into the placing of the offensive materials onto the bonfire continues,' following Brian Conrad Neill's July charge for incitement to hatred.
- DUP councillor Clement Cuthbertson questioned the PSNI operation, criticizing the 'massive policing operation' while noting serious disorders in Dungannon remain under-investigated.
- All five men remain in custody as the PSNI continues its inquiry, while Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn previously called the display a 'sickening and cowardly act of intimidation.
