Ramsgate terror suspects could be detained for six more days

Two teenage boys arrested on suspicion of terror offences could be held in custody for up to six more days.

The two 15-year-olds were detained yesterday after raids at their homes in Ramsgate.

They are being questioned on suspicion of planning terror attacks linked to right-wing ideology.

Both homes were extensively searched by officers from the Counter Terrorism Policing South East following the raids at 6.15am.

Detectives have now been granted warrants of further detention for two boys, who they suspect of being involved in the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorism.

Both are being held in custody under the Terrorism Act somewhere in the south east.

The warrants mean police can continue to detain them until Thursday, September 27.
