Police say the feuding drugs gangs are expelled members of the UDA
A senior police officer has also revealed that members of drugs gangs involved in the ongoing feud are expelled members of the UDA.
These have included petrol bomb attacks, windows being smashed with hammers and bricks, and the pipe bomb attack. PSNI Superintendent Johnston McDowell told a media briefing on Thursday afternoon that the attacks are linked to a feud between drugs gangs. "Today's arrests bring the total number of people arrested to 10 - that is 10 arrested in connection with attacks on homes by rival factions previously linked to the UDA."
"These attacks are completely unacceptable and incredibly reckless and place our communities at grave risk. We don't want to see an escalation of violence between these gangs.
