A man has been arrested on suspicion of a terror offence after traces of uranium were found at Heathrow Airport.
Counter-terror officers searched an address in Cheshire on Saturday (January 14), where they arrested a man in his 60s on suspicion of an offence under Section 9 of the Terrorism Act 2006, which covers the making and possession of radioactive devices. He has been released on bail until April.
It comes after a routine screening of a package that was coming into the UK via Heathrow airport on December 29. Border Force officers at Heathrow seized the material that was contaminated with uranium, reported Manchester Evening News.
