A 28-year-old man was arrested in east London early Tuesday morning on suspicion of spreading terrorist materials.
East London Terror Arrest
Police swooped on two addresses in east London as part of an ongoing probe into extremist Islamist posts on social media. The suspect was detained under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) and taken to a London police station.
Counter-Terror Efforts Ramp Up
SO15 officers led the raids, cracking down hard on those suspected of fuelling terror online. Officials urge the public to stay vigilant and report anything suspicious.
“Communities defeat terrorism, and information from the public is vital to counter terrorism investigations,” police said. “If you see or hear something unusual or suspicious and think someone may be engaging in terrorist activity, trust your instincts and report it confidentially at gov.uk/ACT.”
In an emergency, always dial 999.
