A young man and a young woman in Great Britain are suspected of planning a terrorist act with far-right motives.

The two – an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman – were recently arrested in the London area. On Thursday, they were formally charged with preparation for terrorist crimes.

The London police announce that its counter-terrorism unit has been working “proactively” to investigate suspected crimes linked to far-right terrorist activities.

“These are extremely serious allegations, but I would like to discourage the public from speculating further about the matter at this time and allow the legal process to take its course unhindered,” said counter-terrorism chief Dominic Murphy.

According to Murphy, there is no indication that there is any further threat to the public. The case is said to be unrelated to recent weeks of riots and xenophobic demonstrations in Britain.

The pursuit then came to an abrupt end when the man drove into another motorist a little over a kilometer outside Örebro.

An ambulance has been called to the scene and is now checking the two drivers.

The extent of the injury is still unknown.

It is also unclear what the man who tried to evade the control will be investigated for.

– He will be suspected of a series of crimes, but which ones have not been clarified yet, says Anders Dahlman.

The collision must have greatly affected traffic.

A person is wanted in custody on probable cause suspected of murdering a man in his 40s in Linköping on Tuesday.

All three are aged 20 to 25.
