Man arrested in Bristol over suspected terror offences

A man has been arrested in Bristol on suspicion of Islamist-related terrorism offences, police have said.

The 33-year-old was detained at 23:00 GMT on Monday as part of a planned operation at a flat in Tyndale Court, Imperial Road, in Clifton.

The suspect is being held in custody while searches are carried out at the address.

Police said there was no risk to the public and the arrest was not linked to the London Bridge terror attack.

Inquiries were made by detectives from Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE), working alongside Counter Terrorism Policing South West, prior to that attack on 29 November, officers confirmed.

The suspect is being held on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under section 41b of the Terrorism Act (2000).
