Anti-Terror Raids sees three arrests

Arrests have been made during anti-terror searches at addresses in London and the East Midlands.

The men, aged 28, 33 and 30, remain in custody at a police station in central London.

The latest arrests follow dawn raids in London on Thursday, in which a 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism and a 40-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to possess and supply fraudulent documents.

A further two men, aged 33 and 43, were arrested in Dover on Sunday after Scotland Yard anti-terror officers with armed support officers and Kent Police stopped a car going outbound at Dover.

A 28-year-old man was arrested at the same port on Monday morning.

Under the same operation, two men, aged 24 and 40, were arrested on Monday in east London.

Warrants for the further detention were granted until Sunday December 14 for each of those five people previously arrested in connection with the investigation and all five remain in custody.

Searches linked to those arrests were carried out at four addresses in east London, one in south London and two in north Wales as part of the investigation.

These searches have now been completed.
