Fermanagh priest arrested by police in Liverpool

Police in Britain have arrested a Catholic priest from the North in connection with an investigation into "serious crime".

Sixty-three-year-old Fr Jeremiah McGrath was detained in Liverpool yesterday after arranging a meeting with local detectives.

The police have not revealed what he is being questioned about.

However, the PSNI searched Fr McGrath's house in Roslea, Co Fermanagh, two weeks ago and took a number of documents a way for examination.

That raid was believed to have been connected to a case in which a Co Antrim man was charged with child abduction and rape in Britain earlier this month.

The man is believed to have stayed at Fr McGrath's house on a number of occasions.
