The man, who lives in Easton, Bristol, was detained following further investigations in connection with 19-year-old Andrew Ibrahim, who was arrested in April under the Terrorism Act.

Ibrahim, from Comb Paddock, Westbury-on-Trym, has since appeared in court accused of plotting to commit acts of terrorism.

Officers are conducting a forensic search of the man's address in Bellevue Road, Easton.

A second property, in nearby Milvart Street, is also being searched. No armed officers were involved in the arrest.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: "There is no need for any neighbouring homes to be evacuated and no suggestion of any danger to members of the public."

The spokesman said officers had been "painstakingly scrutinising" thousands of days worth of CCTV footage secured since Ibrahim's arrest, as well as examining more than 2,000 exhibits and more than 2,500 documents.

Officers have informed key community leaders, stakeholders and partner agencies and organisations about this latest development.

Letters were posted through the doors of neighbouring homes to reassure residents there was no undue cause for them to fear for their safety in any way.

Last month Ibrahim, 19, was remanded in custody to await trial accused of attempting to make a bomb at his home. The trial is expected to take place in January next year.
