Four people have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran following a police probe into surveillance of members of the Jewish community in London.
The men were taken into custody by the Metropolitan Police at around 1am this morning following raids at addresses in Barnet and Watford.
They were detained as part of a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation into suspected National Security Act offences.
Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: ‘Today’s arrests are part of a long-running investigation and part of our ongoing work to disrupt malign activity where we suspect it.
‘We understand the public may be concerned, in particular the Jewish community, and as always, I would ask them to remain vigilant and if they see or hear anything that concerns them, then to contact us.’
