An arms find in County Antrim is being described by police as one of the most significant in recent years.

Three barrels were found hidden in the woods near Larne after members of the public reported suspicious objects on Saturday - leading to a two day search operation.

An armour piercing rocket, anti-personnel mines, pipe bombs along with several other explosives and ammunition were all uncovered.

Detectives say a number of the devices were ready to be deployed - and dissident republicans are most likely to blame.

It's still not known if it's linked to a similar terrorist haul discovered at Canfunnock Country Park in March.
