A BOY of 17 was among five people arrested yesterday on suspicion of being members of a banned neo Nazi group.

The teenager was held in Nottingham in a series of early morning raids. Two men, aged 22 and 28, from Birmingham, and a man and woman, aged 23 and 22, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, were also arrested on suspicion of being members of National Action.

The suspects were being held at a police station in the West Midlands last night, after an operation by counter terrorism teams across the West Midlands, North East and East Midlands.
