Two schoolboys arrested on suspicion of terror offences linked to far-right ideology have been released without charge.

The 15-year-olds were kept in custody for six days following early-morning raids at their homes in Ramsgate last Thursday.

Detectives from Counter Terrorism Policing South East were granted special warrants to detain them for the prolonged period.
