A spokesperson for the force said: “A 31-year-old man from West Cross has been arrested on suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.”
The force added that an increased police presence would be seen in the West Cross area while enquiries are ongoing.
About time…this man has been intimidating disabled people in West Cross for well over a year…let the law take it’s course…
This man is on bail and both him and his girlfriend are still harassing his elderly downstairs neighbour who is battling cancer may I add. Their bail conditions are to not speak to Ann or the neighbour who posted this footage for their safety and they’ve gone online naming them and acting like they’re the victims. They call themselves the “Crazy Couple” online. You should see the footage of the abuse they’ve given their neighbour, it’s so sad.
