(Sky News) A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences — as police issued a warning to the public to be “vigilant” over the Christmas period.
The 17-year-old boy was detained at a residential address in north London on Thursday as part of an investigation related to Islamist extremism, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force said he was questioned at a south London police station on suspicion of several offences, including being involved in the “encouragement of terrorism.”
He has now been bailed until a date in February.
