UPDATE: Arrest not believed to be related to leaked Isis recruit list, police advisor says.
A teenager from High Wycombe has been arrested in connection with terrorism offences today.
The 17-year-old boy was arrested this morning (March 10) on suspicion of arranging funds or property for the purpose of terrorism.
The arrest relates to an investigation by the South East Counter Terrorism Unit (SECTU).

"Our officers will continue to maintain a presence in the area, offering reassurance to the local community."
