Coronation Street’s Maria Connor and Alya Nazir in terrorism horror as armed police swoop in

CORONATION Street's Maria Connor and Alya Nazir walk into danger in a terrifying new storyline.

The local councillor and the restaurant owner will become targets of Griff's racist gang in the far right radicalisation storyline.

Now filming pictures show the two women being followed by Griff's racist thugs.

They can be seen walking into a building while Griff's gang follows her with menacing intent.

However as the women get clear, armed police swoop in and arrest the men in a terrifying situation.

Speaking about the storyline Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod said: "Overall, Max's story is one about the grooming of a vulnerable teenager at a point where he's feeling most alienated and disenfranchised. 

“The story will encompass the ‘traditional’ recruitment techniques of extremists groups, and we'll see Max befriended in person by older, mentor-like figures that will give him a sense of loyalty and brotherhood. 

“Then, later in the story, we will explore a very 21st Century problem: teenagers self-radicalising through watching extreme content online. 

“In the end, we wanted this to be a story about communication within families - what are the right and wrong ways to talk to younger family members who are gravitating towards extreme views? 

“For the conclusion of the story, David's misjudged attempts to deal with Max will drive the narrative to a shocking and thought-provoking climax."

Counter Terrorism Policing’s Senior National Coordinator, Tim Jacques, added: “Coronation Street has a long history of raising awareness of challenging issues that sit at the heart of communities across the UK. 

“Sadly, the terrorist threat remains one of those very real concerns.

“Our casework shows that children and young people are vulnerable to radicalisation and are increasingly being drawn into toxic ideologies through online spaces and platforms.

“We hope Max’s story will help to highlight why it’s so important to get support or advice if you’re worried someone you love is taking a dangerous path. 

“It really doesn’t have to be that way.”
