A search which was carried out at an address in Surrey is complete according to the police, but another Surrey address is still being searched alongside an address in Thornton Heath and two in Newport.

"This continues to be a fast-moving investigation," said the Head of the Met Counter Terrorism Command, commander Dean Haydon.

Adding: "A significant amount of activity has taken place since the attack on Friday.

"We have four males in custody and searches are continuing at four addresses.

"Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack.

"We anticipate that the searches will take some days to complete and may cause further disruption.

"However, it is important that we continue with these searches and I'd like to thank all those affected for their support, patience and cooperation."

He added: "As police and our partners do all we can to confront the threat, public vigilance remains as vital as ever.

"We urge the public to report any suspicious activity to the police by calling us, in confidence, on 0800 789 321, or in an emergency by dialling 999.

"We are asking the public to look out for anything that seems out of place, unusual or just doesn't seem to fit in with day-to-day life. It may be nothing, but if you see or hear anything that could be terrorist-related, trust your instincts, then act, and call us."
