Two 14 years old boys were arrested by the counter terror police on suspicion of plotting an attack.
According to Daily mail news, the teenagers were held on suspicion of preparing for an act of terrorism under section 5 of the terrorism Act 2006, police have confirmed.
Witnesses reported to have seen a large number of police vehicles near a derelict former tyre garage fly on Saturday.
A local resident said: ‘The officers would only say that it’s an ongoing investigation, but if it’s connected to an investigation into terrorism then I’m shocked, really shocked.
‘A few months back there was a problem with kids getting in there to use it as a skatepark, but the owners put some better security in and it’s been fine since. I’ve never seen anything suspicious at all.’
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said they were supporting the North-East Counter Terrorism Unit with investigations and searches.
Spokesman says:
‘We appreciate the cooperation of local residents whilst the investigation continues.’
The boys have been arrested.
