POLICE have confirmed that a raid carried out in Birmingham this morning was connected to yesterday's terrorist attack at Westminster.
Hagley Road was closed before being reopened at around 2am.
Early reports suggest officers were at an address linked to where the car, used in the attack, was rented.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Rowley, from the Metropolitan police, said this morning that police searched six addresses and made seven arrests overnight in London and Birmingham.
There have been unconfirmed reports that up to three people were arrested following the raid in Birmingham.
Two people died after a car drove into people walking on Westminster Bridge and another 40 were injured yesterday.
PC Keith Palmer, an unarmed policeman, also died after being stabbed near to Parliament before armed police shot and killed his attacker.
