A 14-year-old boy has been arrested in London over a terrorism offence.

The teenager was arrested on Wednesday at a west London address on suspicion of possessing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

He was later released on bail until August pending further inquiries. The investigation, led by the Met’s counter terrorism command, is related to extreme right-wing terrorist material.

Officers also carried out a search at an address in west London and inquiries remain ongoing.

“This arrest is indicative of a continuing and concerning trend of young people being drawn into and involved in terrorist-related activity,” Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s counter terrorism command, said.
