Seven arrests over terror offences
11:05am Friday 6th July 2012 in United Kingdom news
Seven men have been arrested on suspicion of terror offences after firearms and other weapons were found “hidden” in a car, police said today.
West Midlands Police said one man from West Yorkshire and six from the West Midlands are being questioned on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism following a series of arrests this week.
A spokesman said: “The arrests followed a routine stop of a vehicle by police on the M1 motorway in South Yorkshire on Saturday (June 30).
”The car was impounded on suspicion of having no insurance.
”Firearms, offensive weapons and other material were later found hidden inside, prompting police to take action to trace and arrest the driver, passenger and others suspected of being involved.”
