Police in Northern Ireland investigating the murder of Constable Ronan Kerr have arrested a man in Scotland over a significant arms find.

 

Mr Kerr, 25, was killed when a car bomb exploded in Omagh on Saturday.

 

Police have said the arrest is linked to a "very significant arms" find in the Coalisland area of east Tyrone.
