UK police said a 27-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the attack during a raid in Ilford, east London.

He was also held on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts and taken into custody while police searched the two properties.

As arrests continue to mount, investigators released new details about the planning and methods of the three attackers and their van and knife rampage.

Pakistani-born British citizen Khuram Butt attempted to hire a 7.5 tonne lorry hours before the June 3 attack, although the group used a B&Q van loaded with bags of gravel instead.

Butt, 27, and his two accomplices, Rachid Redouane, 30, who claimed to be Moroccan-Libyan, and Youssef Zaghba, a 22-year-old Italian national of Moroccan descent, all died in the attack.

Of the 20 people arrested in connection with the probe, 12 have been released without charge.

One man arrested on suspicion of drugs and firearms offences was bailed until a date in late June.
