Four terror suspects have been arrested by police in raids on houses and businesses in south-west London.

Early morning raids resulted in the arrest of four men, aged between 28 and 32 under recent terrorism legislation.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson said the men were suspected of 'involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism'.

Six homes and three business premises were raided by officers from the Met's Anti-Terrorist Branch at 5am today.

The men are in custody at a central London police station.

The raids follow last week's arrest of a man and discovery of explosives by Met anti-terror police at a house in Gloucester.
