| [BBC] Eight people have been arrested on suspicion of making explosives after police searched two properties following a serious assault. Officers arrived at a house in Daneshill Road, Leicester, on Wednesday morning and discovered a 55-year-old man had been attacked. A 51-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Officers later searched a second property and seven other people were also arrested for the same offence, contrary to the Explosive Substances Act. Leicestershire Police said it had "discovered items which caused some concern" while responding to reports of a serious assault. The force said the arrests were not related to terrorism and it was a "local police investigation". The 55-year-old man remains in hospital with injuries to his arm. | |
