Anti-terrorism police move search

The police search of Kings Wood has come to an end

Police are to search a new area near High Wycombe as part of an anti-terrorist operation.

The search of Kings Wood following anti-terrorism arrests in August came to an end on Tuesday.

Thames Valley Police are now moving to Booker Common and the new search is expected to last for several weeks.

Ch Supt Graham Bell said: "I am not able to discuss details of the search but there is nothing for residents to be unduly concerned about."

The search is part of ongoing inquiries following arrests over an alleged terror plot to blow up transatlantic planes.

Ch Supt Graham Bell: "The Kings Wood search was one of the most intensive large-scale searches I can remember.

"We are in discussions with the Metropolitan Police and Buckinghamshire Council to see what can be done to put right any damage that may have been caused to the woods."
