Police have arrested a 17-year-old boy in south London in connection with last Friday’s terror attack on a Tube train.<\/p>\n
The teenager was detained after officers executed a warrant in Thornton Heath at about 00:05 BST on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It takes the total number of arrests in the investigation to six, all of whom remain in custody at a south London police station.<\/p>\n
A homemade bomb partially exploded on a rush hour District Line train at Parsons Green, injuring 30 people.<\/p>\n
Police have begun a search of the property where the teenager was arrested under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act.<\/p>\n
Commander Dean Haydon, head of Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: This continues to be a fast-moving investigation.<\/p>\n
“A significant amount of activity has taken place since the attack on Friday.<\/p>\n
“We now have six males in custody and searches are continuing at five addresses.<\/p>\n
“Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack.”<\/p>\n
Three men, aged 25, 30 and 48, have been arrested in Newport, south Wales, a 21-year-old – named as Yahyah Farroukh – was detained in Hounslow, west London, and an 18-year-old man was at the Port of Dover.<\/p>\n
A time limit on Mr Farroukh’s detention is expected to expire on Thursday, while detectives have been given until Saturday to continue questioning the 18-year-old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
