They were still searching 22 of these premises. A total of 20 vehicles have also been searched, although Scotland Yard refused to discuss what officers had recovered. Specialist officers are also combing woodland in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, close to the scene of one of last Thursday's raids.
The search for evidence has led Thames Valley Police to Slough, some 18 miles from the focus of operations in High Wycombe. Chief Superintendent Brian Langston, who heads Berkshire East's Basic Command Unit, said officers had carried out search warrants in two internet cafes in the town. He said extra officers had now been drafted in to guard against any "misguided backlash" in the town.
