Police have disrupted what they describe as a "long-running investigation" into an alleged plot targeting Jewish communities in the Manchester area, following the arrest of two men just days before the holy day of Yom Kippur.

The announcement came on Tuesday, shortly after the arrests were made on Sunday afternoon. Further developments on the nature of the plot and the suspects’ identities have yet to be confirmed.
