They have been charged with an offence under section 17 of the Terrorism Act, 2000.

A NECTU spokesman said: “The investigation was intelligence led and there is no evidence to suggest that any communities were or are at immediate risk in connection with this operation.”

All three defendants are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, in London, tomorrow.
