It follows a search of a property in the Annadale Embankment area of south Belfast on Friday night, November 1.
The three suspects, two men aged 42 and 41, and a 39-year-old woman were detained as officers rescued two women, believed to have been victims of human trafficking.
A sum of cash was also seized.
During a follow-up search of a property in the Newtownards Road area, three suspected firearms were recovered.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “The suspects remain in custody this afternoon and police continue to offer specialist support to the rescued women”
