West Midlands Police death threat 'not credible' | |
(34 minutes later) | |
A threat to kidnap and murder a serving police officer was "not credible", a force has said. | |
On Tuesday West Midlands Police said counter-terrorism officers had received a tip-off that staff were in danger. | |
A 31-year-old man arrested in connection with the call has since been eliminated from inquiries. | |
The force said its assessment was that the call "was not terrorist related or a credible kidnap threat". | |
Inquiries into the original call are continuing and West Midlands Police said the man would remain in custody in connection with "immigration matters". |
