Four men and a 16-year-old boy have appeared in court in Belfast this evening charged with a number of terrorism and firearms offences.
They were charged last night by detectives from the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch investigating alleged dissident republican activity.
The youth and the men, aged 47, 40, 34 and 33, were arrested after two guns were recovered during a police operation on the Falls Road in west Belfast last Thursday.
