A man has been charged with firearms offences following an incident that saw police close a section of Belfast City Centre. 

Officers closed off a section of Fisherwick Place on Thursday, May 12th, for a couple of hours as they responded to an incident close to the Jury's Inn hotel. 

There was a large police presence in the area following the incident, with police ATOs and crime scene investigators also arriving at the scene. 

A 37-year-old has since been arrested and charged with carrying an imitation firearm in public, along with possession of Class A and Class C controlled drugs.
