OFFICERS from the North West Counter Terrorism Unit and Merseyside Police have concluded their searches at five addresses as part of an ongoing investigation.
A 31-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism remains in police custody.
Officers from the North West Counter Terrorism Unit along with colleagues from Merseyside Police raided Rockland House on View Road in Rainhill.
A search online reveals that the property is listed as the base for a software company.
The search follows intelligence gathered from the police which led to searches of five properties across Merseyside. The other four were in Liverpool.
A police spokeswoman said: "A number of items were seized from the addresses - which are linked to the individual - and will now be subject to further investigation.
"The NWCTU would like to make it clear that the businesses searched were done solely due to connections with the man arrested.
"It remains the case that at this time, officers have uncovered no plan or threat of an imminent attack either at home or abroad."
