The 48-year-old from Windmill Avenue was arrested after First and Second World War artefacts and munitions were seized from a house in Windmill Avenue.

Part of the street was cordoned off yesterday and a search warrant was executed at the house.

The man was further arrested on suspicion of possession of explosives, firearms and ammunition. He has been bailed until November 14.
