The dawn raid in Canonbury is thought to be part of an investigation linked to extremists travelling to SyriaEight police vehicles including “riot vans” were seen outside a property in Thorndike Road at 6am this morning as police stormed the address – according to one neighbour’s account.
The reports coincided with an operation by the Met’s counter terrorism command in which a 32-year-old woman and five men, all in their 20s, were arrested across six addresses in north London on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering.
It is not known whether any of the men at the Thorndike Road address were arrested.
Police say the raids, which also saw a 38-year-old man arrested in Luton for money laundering, were part of an ongoing investigation into a scam linked to UK extremists travelling to Syria.
The suspects were taken to a south London police station.
