An investigation is underway into an assault in south Armagh.

Two men wanted by police for a range of offences were discovered in Mullaghbawn tied up and covered in paint.

James White and Alexis Guesto had both sustained injuries and have been taken to hospital for treatment.

The PSNI has thanked people for coming forward in the hunt for them.

Detective Chief Inspector Jill Duffie from PSNI Public Protection Branch said:” I understand that feelings in the area have been running high over the search for these men, however, there can never be an excuse for violence or people taking the law into their own hands. We will be investigating the assault and working to identify anyone involved.”
