Det Ch Supt Martin Snowden, head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: "I appreciate the concern these arrests have caused within our communities and in particular the impact of speculation around them on social media - such speculation can be very damaging, creating widespread and unnecessary fear.

"Please be reassured that there is not believed to be any immediate risk to the public in connection with our ongoing investigation."
