Counter Terror Police have made another arrest in connection with a recent spate of attacks against the Jewish community.

A 37-year-old man was arrested in Devon on Sunday on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts. He was taken to London for questioning and remains in custody.

"The arrest is part of an ongoing CTP London investigation into a series of attacks on premises linked to the Jewish community in north west London, an attack on a Persian-language media organisation and the discovery of jars of a non-hazardous substance in Kensington Gardens,” said a Met Police spokesperson.

"CTP officers continue to work closely with Met Police colleagues in response to the series of arson incidents, which includes specialist officers providing protective security advice and support to a large number of organisations, community venues and businesses.”
