Terror arrests given extra time

Version 0 of 1.

Two men arrested over alleged terrorism offences have had their custody extended under the Terrorism Act.

The men, aged 25 and 39, were arrested on suspicion of the "commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism" early on Tuesday morning.

The arrests came after raids at two separate homes in north-west and west London, police said.

On Wednesday, City of Westminster magistrates gave police permission to hold the men until 12 December.

The allegations are reportedly related to offences being planned overseas.

The men are being held in custody at a London police station.
