Following the discovery of further suspicious substances in Hyde Road, Caddington, we can confirm we are working with SO15, the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command, which has taken over the investigation.
One man in his 30s from Caddington was arrested on Monday 6 May and later bailed. He has today (Tuesday) been re-arrested on suspicion of possession of an item of use to a terrorist, under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.
We have also worked closely with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) partners who carried out a controlled explosion on the site last week.
We are committed to keeping the public of Caddington safe and will be maintaining a police presence at the scene as well as continuing high-visibility patrols and community engagement in the area.
Please be reassured there is not believed to be any risk to local residents or the wider public at this time.
If anyone has any concerns they should speak to our officers or contact us on 101 quoting Operation Gronlid.
