A 37-year-old man arrested by detectives in Fermanagh investigating the attempted murder of an off-duty police officer in Kesh during the early hours of yesterday morning (Thursday 2 January) has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
The man was arrested in the Fermanagh area last night on suspicion of attempted murder.
Detectives Chief Inspector Julie Mullan said police are keeping an open mind at this stage of the investigation.
“I firmly believe that organised criminal elements were responsible for this reckless act. Those responsible targeted a local police officer serving the local community.
“We continue to appeal to the community to contact police with any information regarding either suspicious persons or vehicles present in the Rosscah/ Crevenish Road area at around 2am yesterday morning. No matter how small the detail may be, it may be crucial in our investigation so please contact 101 quoting reference number 126 02/01/20.
“Alternatively, if someone would like to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers. This is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime,” she added.
