On Thursday, 11 July, officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command arrested a man in Leyton on suspicion of an offence contrary to Section 5 Terrorism Act 2000. He was taken to police custody and detained under TACT, with officers obtaining a warrant for his further detention until 18 July.

On the same day, officers also arrested a woman on suspicion of possession of a Section 5 Firearm. She has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
