Weapons found during investigation into Traveller feud

A MAN in his 20s was arrested early yesterday after a shotgun was found in the boot of his car near Castleisland, Co Kerry.

In a follow-up search of a house in the Mitchels area of Tralee, a further stock of weapons and devices was discovered, including another shotgun, three petrol bombs, two samurai swords, a slash hook, a knife and two balaclavas.

The arrest, made shortly after midnight, was part of a continuing investigation into a bitter feud between Kerry Traveller families which has been going on since early May.
