Four men have been arrested overnight in London on suspicion of terrorism offenses, London's Metropolitan Police said Friday.
The force's Counter Terrorism Command made three arrests at addresses in west London and the Thames Valley area, to the west of the capital.
A fourth man was arrested in the street in west London by armed officers but no shots were fired, the Met Police statement said.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said last month that counter-terrorism officers were "running exceptionally high numbers of counter-terrorism investigations, the likes of which we have not seen for several years."
In the year up to October 17, there had been 218 terror-related arrests, he said, adding that officers are disrupting "several attack plots a year."
