Police get more time to quiz Wrexham 'terror' suspect

Police have been granted more time to question a man arrested in Wrexham on suspicion of terrorism offences.

The 48-year-old was arrested on Thursday and is being held at a police station in the West Midlands.

Police will now be able to keep him in custody until 17 November, when they will either charge or release him or apply for another warrant of further detention.

An address in Wrexham is the subject of an ongoing search.

The arrest was the result of a joint operation between Wales Extremism Counter Terrorism Unit, North Wales Police and West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit.

Police say it was planned and intelligence-led and that there was no threat to the public's safety.
