National Action: Police given more time to grill Wolverhampton terror suspect
Police have been given more time to question a Wolverhampton man suspected of belonging to a banned neo-Nazi group.
Warrants of further detention have been granted for five men arrested on suspicion of belonging to far-right terror group National Action.
West Midlands Police said the suspects, aged between 21 and 37, were held under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act on Wednesday.
The arrests were pre-planned and intelligence-led with no threat to the public's safety, the force said.
The male suspects include a 28-year-old from Wolverhampton, a 26-year-old from Cambridge, a 21-year-old from Banbury, Oxfordshire, a 26-year-old from Leicester and a 24-year-old from Stockport.
A 37-year-old female suspect, also from Banbury, has been released under investigation with strict conditions.
The five men are being held at a police station in the West Midlands.
Officers are continuing to carry out searches at several properties across the country in connection with the arrests.
A string of counter-terrorism units were involved in the operation, including from the West Midlands, North West, South East and East England.
