Four men arrested as part of a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation have been released from custody.
A 40-year-old man was arrested at an address in Rochdale on May 3rd, whilst the others were at addresses in London, Swindon and Stockport.
The fifth man was detained in the Manchester area, under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. He was previously released on bail, with conditions, to a date in May.
Commander Dominic Murphy, Head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command said: “We made these arrests due to concerns about a suspected plot to target a specific premises. Since those arrests, detectives have been working to assess all the evidence we’ve gathered and to question the men.
“They are now being released from custody but our investigation remains active and is ongoing.
“We are working very closely with the premises we identified as the suspected target of the alleged plot, and we continue to provide them with support. This has been, and continues to be, a highly complex investigation, and we will not hesitate to take further action if we believe there is any imminent threat to the public.
“I would like to thank the public for their support and understanding – particularly in the areas and communities across the UK who have felt the direct impact of our activity.
“I’d like to ask people to remain vigilant and contact us if anything doesn’t look or feel right. Information from the public is crucial to our work.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0800 789 321, or report it online.
