More Than A Million Cigarettes Seized
Smuggled cigarettes have been seized at Belfast docks by UK Border Force officials.
The cigarettes, worth £250,00 in tax alone, were packed in cardboard boxes than were marked as being full of a plastic bag delivery for a supermarket.
Progress Made In Community Policing
A new Criminal Justice Inspection report has found that the PSNI has made "substantial progress" to improve community policing.
A review published today followed a 2009 inspection when the CJI made some recommendations for improvement.
The review found that 700 police officers now work on neighbourhood policing in Northern Ireland.
No Cause Found For School Fire
No definite cause has been found for a fire that destroyed a special school in County Tyrone on Friday night.
Samples have been taken from the scene at Arvalee Special School in Omagh, after an examination of the area did not lead police and forensic officers to any conclusions.
The school specialises in working with pupils aged three to 19 who have learning difficulties.
