Terrorism Arrests At Sellafield Nuclear Plant
1:26pm UK, Tuesday May 03, 2011 Five men are being held under the Terrorism Act after being arrested close to the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria.
Sky sources said it is understood the men were British Asians and were taking photographs of the plant.
They were detained at about 4.30pm on Monday after a stop check on a vehicle by officers. Part of a road was closed.
The five, all in their 20s and from London, were held overnight at a police station in Carlisle under section 41 of the Terrorism act.
The investigation is being led by counter-terrorism officers in Manchester.
Sky's home affairs correspondent Mark White said: "From what I understand there was nothing found on them that would give immediate cause for concern that there was any potential attack."
