Summary
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with extreme right-wing terror offences over an alleged plan to target two mosques in Sutton, south London.
The case began with his arrest on suspicion of criminal damage to a vehicle, after which officers searching an address found what police called "a number of documents of concern."
He also faces a separate charge of damaging property without lawful excuse by allegedly targeting a car window, an offence the Metropolitan Police said was racially aggravated.
The Metropolitan Police described the allegations as linked to extreme right-wing terrorism, with further details still to come as the investigation develops.
