Officers from the Met’s Falcon Unit have arrested a man on suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communications.
An investigation was launched by Falcon detectives after police were made aware of threats made online against a 51-year-old woman from 3 November onward.
The 55-year-old man was arrested on Monday, 5 December at an address in Swindon. He was taken into custody at a Wiltshire police station, where he was later released on bail pending consideration by the Crown Prosecution Service.
+ As part of the same investigation, officers also issued a ‘cease and desist’ notice on 3 December to a 38-year-old man from Fife, Scotland.
