Nine men have been charged after a major police operation targeting the UVF.

Eleven were arrested on Friday after officers from the Paramilitary Crime Task Force raided 14 properties across the city as well as Ards and Comber.

£15,000 worth of Class A drugs, cars and cash were seized during the operation.

Four men are due to appear in court on Saturday, while five others are due in front of Magistrates next month.

Two others have been released.
