article: A 36-year-old man has been charged with causing a dangerous article to be on a road. Another man, 46, has been charged with riotous behaviour. Both are due to appear before Belfast Magistrates Court 28 July. A crossbow was among items seized after the PSNI dispersed what they described as "a large crowd of men". A police spokesperson said: "Reports suggested some of the males were masked and may have been armed with weapons such as hammers. "Officers attended and dispersed the crowd seizing a number of items including a crossbow." Pictures from the Castlemara estate show a burning bonfire and police officers removing tyres and pallets from the road. At least one fire appliance was in attendance. The DUP MLA for the area, Gordon Lyons, said: "People in Carrickfergus are very disappointed at the disturbances that look place last night. "It's not what we want to see in 2016."
