Military personnel at a barracks just a stone’s throw from Windsor Castle were warned not to leave the grounds in uniform after a man was arrested.

The alert remained in place for two days at Victoria Barracks, home to the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards.

Thames Valley Police first arrested the 20-year-old in Slough, Berks, last week on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon and arson at the nearby Salt Hill Activity Centre.

While in custody on Sunday, he was re-arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.

The investigation is now being led by Counter Terrorism Policing South East.

The suspect is believed to be a “lone actor” and no other arrests have been made.
