Police have raided addresses in Nottingham and Birmingham over the Westminster terror attack after it emerged the suspect who ploughed into 15 cyclists and pedestrians today was known to officers but not MI5, MailOnline can reveal.
Officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command are searching two addresses in Birmingham, where the suspect is said to be known to police, and a property in Nottingham over the attack, but have not arrested anyone else.
Security Minister Ben Wallace described the suspect, who is in his late twenties, as 'a British citizen who came from another country originally' on BBC News this evening.
