LONDON (REUTERS) - British police said they had arrested a man on suspicion of weapons offences on Tuesday (Dec 19) after an operation that forced the brief closure of a major London road.
Officers stopped a car on the East India Dock Road as part of a pre-planned swoop which resulted in a man being detained on suspicion of possession of firearms.
They said the incident was not terrorism-related.
A Reuters reporter at the scene said armed police had attended and that the stopped car had one of its windows smashed.
