Specialist counter terrorism police officers have raided five properties in Sheffield and arrested four men, aged 22, 36, and 41, on suspicion of planning a “Christmas terror attack”. A 31-year-old man in Chesterfield was also arrested on suspicion of the same offence.
Residents were terrified after hearing what they described as explosions during the early morning of the raids and saw bomb disposal officers handling and removing “packages”, which has come alongside frightful warnings from ISIS who threatened to attack Christmas events in the UK.
