A man described as an extreme right-wing terrorism suspect was arrested in London and charged with several offenses on Wednesday.

The arrest of Robert Adamski, 28, came after an investigation led by the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command.

He was due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday to face two counts of possession of a firearm, two counts of dissemination of terrorist publication, and possession of documents likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

He was taken into police custody and detained under TACT (Counter Terrorism Command) on July 11.

A woman was also arrested on the same day; however, she has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.

The investigation pertains to suspected extreme right-wing terrorism, and authorities said they do not believe there is any threat to the public related to the incident.
