Detectives investigating the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell in Northern Ireland have searched two properties in greater Belfast.
Following the searches, a man was arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and possession of criminal property. He was later released on bail.
Mr Caldwell was left with life-changing injuries after the shooting in Co Tyrone earlier this year.
The New IRA, an armed dissident republican group opposed to the peace process, has been blamed for the attack on the high-profile officer.
