British Police arrest seven people on suspicion of terrorist offences

London: 

British police say seven men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorist offences after a routine vehicle search turned up firearms and weapons.

Scotland Yard said Friday that the arrests followed a routine vehicle stop on the M1 motorway in South Yorkshire, England on June 30.

It said "firearms, offensive weapons and other material" were later found hidden in the car, which prompted police to trace and arrest the driver, passenger and other suspects.
