Woman suspected of funding terror

A 19-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of funding terrorism in Syria.

The woman was arrested by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command after attending a south London police station by appointment.

She was held on suspicion of being involved in funding terrorism, contrary to section 17 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and remains in custody.

Her arrest is linked to that of a 51-year-old woman who was held on the same charge on 12 January following a search of an address in north London.
