A 14-year-old boy from south London has been charged with terrorism offences after police investigating suspected criminal damage uncovered what they described as 'documents of concern' that led to an alleged plot targeting two mosques in the borough of Sutton.
The teenager was arrested on 9 July on suspicion of criminal damage to a vehicle. During a search of his home, Metropolitan Police officers recovered material they considered sufficiently concerning to involve Counter Terrorism Policing, transforming what began as a criminal damage investigation into a counter-terrorism inquiry.
