Five people from the same family were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of possessing materials related to terrorism, Britain's Metropolitan Police said.

British anti-terror police attended an address in east London on Wednesday and arrested the five members of the same family.

The arrested people include a 51-year-old man, a 53-year-old woman and three females - a 16-year-old, a 17-year old and a 19-year old, police said.

"All five were arrested on suspicion of possessing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

The man was additionally arrested on suspicion of possessing false identity documents with improper intention. All five currently remain in police custody in a central London police station.

These arrests are part of an ongoing investigation involving one of the females who was arrested in July on suspicion of preparation of terrorism.
