Seven held as guns are found in terror probe Seven men were arrested on suspicion of terrorism after police found guns and other weapons hidden in a car that was impounded for having no insurance. One man from West Yorkshire and six from the West Midlands are being questioned on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism following a series of arrests this week. West Midlands officers had impounded the uninsured car, only to find two guns, some ammunition and other offensive weapons hidden inside. The car was stopped between junctions 33 and 34 of the southbound M1. This follows a separate counter-terror swoop in London yesterday, which saw six arrests in Stratford, east London and Ealing, west London. A former police community support officer and Muslim convert Richard Dart, 29, were said to have been among those held. The arrests were made as part of a pre-planned operation, but the threat was not thought to be imminent. West Midlands Police said that in the latest arrests, three men aged 23, 26 and 27 from Sparkhill, Birmingham, were held on Tuesday morning. A 43-year old man from Kirklees, West Yorkshire, was detained in Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury yesterday. The guns found were not automatic weapons, West Midlands Police said.
