A terrorist hide containing bomb-making components has been found in woodland in Northern Ireland.
The discovery at Capanagh Forest near Larne, Co Antrim, was made by two members of the public on Saturday.
Detectives are investigating whether the find is linked to bomb-making items uncovered at nearby Carnfunnock Country Park in March.
The latest haul has been taken away for further forensic examination.
Detective Inspector Adrian Brown said: "This investigation is at a very early stage and we are working to establish whether this find is linked to a terrorist hide that was discovered at Carnfunnock Country Park near Larne in March 2016.
"I would ask the public to remain vigilant wherever they are and whatever they are doing.
"If you see any suspicious activity, or have seen anything unusual in this area, please contact police so that we can act on the given information."
The find comes amid a continuing upsurge in violence by dissident republican groups, with the current threat level In Northern Ireland set at severe.
Last week, MI5 raised the threat level to Great Britain from Northern Ireland-related terrorism from moderate to substantial.
At the weekend a man was shot in the ankles in Londonderry in an attack police believe was carried out by paramilitaries.
The shooting in Derry was the latest in a string of gun attacks in recent days, including the murder of takeaway delivery driver Dan Murray, 55, in west Belfast.
