Controlled explosion follows terror raids in Sheffield and Chesterfield

From local newspaper The Star

A controlled explosion has been carried out following the terror raids in Sheffield and Chesterfield earlier this week. The Army Bomb Disposal Unit was yesterday brought in to carry out the explosion to safely dispose of material found at a flat above the Mermaid Traditional Fish Bar in Chesterfield. The North East Counter Terrorism Unit said the blast took place at a safe location nearby and nobody was evacuated.

Officers arrested four people on Tuesday after raiding the property in Chesterfield and four others in Sheffield, including Fatima Community Centre in Burngreave.

All four remain in custody, and police have been given until Christmas Day to decide whether to charge or release the suspects, or to apply for more time to quiz them.
