Raid on Holyland home finds weapons and bathtub full of canned fish, court told

A man accused with his wife of storing guns and trying to manufacture explosives at their south Belfast home is a self-confessed “prepper” getting ready for potential catastrophe, a court heard today.

Defence solicitor Ciaran Steele said: “He accepts that he is what’s known as a prepper, someone who is preparing for some sort of cataclysmic event or breakdown in government. He has all these items of food and minerals to preserve them.” Three suspected shotguns, eight real or replica pistols and a quantity of ammunition was seized, along with potassium nitrate, sulphur and corn syrup which can potentially be used to make explosives, according to police.

During interviews Mrs Caldwell denied knowing anything about the seized items, telling police the couple’s home was so messy and stacked with bags and boxes on top of boxes that “you can’t walk anywhere”.
