A SERVING Metropolitan Police officer was arrested yesterday on suspicion of being a member of a banned group linked to right-wing terrorism.
The constable, 21, was detained by counter-terrorism officers at an address in north London where a search was being carried out.
The officer, who works in “frontline policing,” was taken to a south London police station where he remained in custody.
Scotland Yard said that the force’s directorate of professional standards has been told and that the officer’s status is “under review.”
The case has also been referred to the Independent Office of Police Conduct watchdog.
The arrest comes after MPs backed a ban on membership of more right-wing groups last month. Anyone found to be a member of, or offering support to, the banned groups can face up to 10 years in jail.
