A 35-year-old man arrested in connection with an attack on the home of the former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has been released on bail.

The man was detained on Tuesday night on suspicion of a number of offences, including criminal damage, linked to incidents at the homes of Adams and fellow Sinn Féin member Bobby Storey.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said officers also carried out searches of properties in west Belfast on Tuesday night.

Explosive devices were hurled at the west Belfast homes of Adams and Storey on Friday night, with Sinn Féin condemning the “reprehensible and cowardly” attacks.

No one was injured, but a car in the driveway of Adams’s home was damaged.

The PSNI previously said officers had seized “remnants of large industrial, firework-type devices, capable of causing serious damage or injury” at two houses in west Belfast.

The detained man was released on bail on Wednesday morning pending further police inquiries.

Following the attacks, Adams said he was “very, very thankful” that no one was hurt.

The Sinn Féin president, Mary Lou McDonald, said on Monday that party members were reviewing their security in the wake of the attacks.

While Sinn Féin has blamed dissident republicans for the attacks, police have yet to publicly attribute responsibility.

Hundreds of people attended a rally in west Belfast on Monday evening to demonstrate support for Adams and Storey. At the event, McDonald branded the dissidents as “enemies of the people”.
