Four Arrested In Terror Investigation
Officers investigating a number of people suspected of being involved in travelling to or supporting fighting in war-zones have made four arrests.
Detectives have arrested three people in Manchester on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Two men aged 29 and 18 both from Levenshulme, and a 21-year-old woman from Trafford are now in police custody.
Officers from the South East Counter Terrorism Unit (SECTU), supporting the NWCTU, have also arrested a 29-year-old man from Oxford on suspicion of the same offence. They have all been brought into custody in Manchester and are now being interviewed by officers from NWCTU.
A number of properties are now being searched.
Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Mole, Head of the NWCTU, said: "First and foremost I should reassure everyone that none of today's activity is linked in any way to any imminent threats in Greater Manchester or the UK.
"The operation has been running since autumn 2013 since we first became aware of a number of individuals travelling from the North West to the battlefields of Syria."
