Two men arrested over suspected terrorist plot to target Jewish community in Manchester area
- On Sunday, September 20, police arrested two men in their 30s on Newton Street in Manchester on suspicion of offenses under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act, targeting a suspected plot against the Jewish community.
- The arrests resulted from a "long-running proactive investigation" by Counter Terrorism Policing, which disrupted the suspected plot targeting the Jewish community in the Manchester area.
- Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans, Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, noted the arrests' timing during Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, causes "further concern" amid the significant High Holy Day period.
- Both men were taken to a London police station where they remain in custody; Metropolitan Police stated they are working closely with Greater Manchester Police to ensure public safety.
- Importantly, police do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public regarding this matter, though CTP continues providing protective security support for areas with Jewish communities across the country.
