Greater Manchester Police have confirmed to have had arrested a 16-year-old girl on suspicion of terror offences during a raid conducted at a home in the Longsight area on Friday evening. According to the police, they have detained the teenager in connection with “engaging in conduct in preparation” for terrorist acts. The crime, introduced under the 2006 Terrorism Act, is punishable by life imprisonment for adults.
A statement issued by the Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said that “as part of an ongoing investigation, officers from the Tactical Aid Unit and North West Counter Terrorism Unit executed a warrant at a house in Longsight.” It was added that “a 16-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism and has been bailed until 28 May.” The witnesses in the vicinity described the street being “full of terrorist police” as the teenager was arrested.
The terrorist police has confirmed that the arrest is not related to the ongoing investigation into a family of nine people that was arrested at the Syrian border by Turkish police on Wednesday. The group from Rochdale included 21-year-old Waheed Ahmed, two men aged 24 and 22, two women aged 47 and 22 and four children aged one, three, eight and 11. In addition to that, five men and a woman aged between 23 and 28 were arrested at the port of Dover on suspicion of Syria-related terror offences.
