Teen arrested for jihadi terrorism offences after cops swoop on property in Walsall

A TEEN has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences after police swooped on a home in Walsall.

The 18-year-old was detained by Met Police officers following an investigation into Islamist terrorism.

He was quizzed on suspicion of dissemination of terrorist publications (contrary to Section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006).

The boy's home in the West Midlands was also searched following his arrest on November 22.

He has since been bailed to a date in mid-February 2023.

The Met said: "A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences, during a proactive operation by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command.

"The investigation relates to Islamist terrorism.

"Enquiries continue."
