Finnish Man Nabbed at Heathrow in Terror Probe
Met Police Counter Terrorism detectives have swooped on a 29-year-old Finnish man suspected of planning terrorist acts. The arrest happened late Sunday night, 10 June, after officers stopped him trying to catch a connecting flight at Heathrow Airport.
Arrest Linked to Terror Prep, Not Airport Incident
Although stopped under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 at 11.05pm, his arrest on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts came later at around 5am on 11 June. He’s now held at a south London police station under the Terrorism Act.
Detention Extended as Police Probe Continues
Counter terrorism detectives secured a warrant to keep him detained beyond the initial arrest. The warrant lasts until 11pm on Sunday, 17 June, as the investigation presses on.
