Five Family Members Arrested By Anti-Terrorism Police
Five people have been arrested as part of an investigation by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command (SO15).
SO15 made the arrests in the early hours of today (Wednesday) at an address in east London. It is understood that the suspects are all members of the same family – a 51-year-old man, a 53-year-old woman and three females, aged 16, 17 and 19.
All five were arrested on suspicion of possessing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
The man was additionally arrested on suspicion of possessing false identity documents with improper intention, contrary to Section 4 of the Identity Documents Act 2010.
All five remain in police custody in a central London police station.
The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation which previously saw one of the females arrested on 2 July on suspicion of preparation of terrorism (under section 5 of the Terrorism Act, 2006). She is, at present, on police bail to a date in September pending further enquiries in relation to that matter.
Police said that their investigation is ongoing.
