The London Evening Standard reports on the arrest of a 41 year old male in connection with “extreme” Islamophobic, right wing and anti-Semitic posts on social media.
The paper reports that officers from Scotland Yard’s Crime Disruption Unit, within the force’s Counter Terrorism Command, and Territorial Support Group swooped on addresses in north London at 6.30am this morning.
A spokesperson for the Met police said: “Detectives executed search warrants at two addresses, both in north London, as part of this investigation, which relates to social media postings of an extreme right wing, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic nature.
“Searches at one of the addresses are ongoing. A number of digital items have been seized at one of the properties.”
The man has been held on suspicion of inciting racial hatred.
