Three men have been arrested in connection with an incident in L'Derry on Thursday 27 September.

The men were detained in connection with a disturbance at a property in Ballynagard Crescent at about 7.30pm last Thursday. Police said that the incident culminated in a vehicle being driven repeatedly at the front of the house, causing some damage to the gates and the building itself.

Detective Inspector Bob Blemmings said: "Our enquiries to date would also suggest that at some point during the fracas, a crossbow may have been fired at the car.

The arrests were made on Sunday, 30 September.
