A man aged 25 was held outside a house in Crossways, Aldershot, at around 3.45pm on Monday. His home was sealed and searched. Meanwhile, a second home at Denmark Square was cordoned off, and a 26-year-old man and 22-year-old woman were held. All three have been held under the Terrorism Act.
Man Arrested Over Death
A 32-year-old man has been held in relation to the death of a man in West Dunbartonshire. Stephen McGinley's body was found in his home in Darwin Place, Clydebank, at 2.20pm on Saturday. A 36-year-old woman is already in police custody in connection with the death, which is being treated as suspicious. Both were due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Tuesday. A report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
Explosives Possession Arrest
A man has been arrested for possessing explosives. Gwent Police detained the 30-year-old man from Grove Park, Blackwood, in Caerphilly County, on Saturday, under the Terrorism Act. Officers said they are treating it as an isolated incident, but they have increased police visibility in the area to reassure the community. The house was searched and made safe by army explosive experts. Officers said the man was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of possession of explosives and arrested again on Sunday after articles were recovered at the property.
Investigation Begins As Body Found On Bridge
A police investigation is underway after the body of man was found at a visitor attraction in East Yorkshire. Humberside Police received a call in the early hours following reports a badly injured man had been found on the Millennium Footbridge in Hull. Police and ambulance crews attended, but the man died at the scene. Detectives said they were treating the case as suspicious and urged anyone with information to contact them. The area around Millennium Bridge was cordoned off while specialist officers examined the scene.
ID Cards And More Secure Passports Closer
Identity cards and enhanced passports will be introduced under new contracts announced today. The award of contracts for core elements of the National Identity Service and the modernisation of the passport application process brings large scale deployment of ID cards a step closer. The Identity and Passport Service (IPS) is replacing and upgrading its contracts for processing passport applications, which are due to expire in 2009 and 2010, and creating a new secure database for storing the facial and fingerprint images. Together they will support the introduction of ID cards and allow for vital improvements to the next generation of biometric passports.
