The 21-year-old man from Fir Vale was arrested on Friday night after officers raided a house and business premises in Firth Park.

He was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

Officers have been granted permission to question him until 6pm tomorrow.

The North East Counter Terrorism Unit, which covers South Yorkshire, said the arrest was made as part of 'an ongoing investigation'.

Both men have been remanded in custody and are due to appear before the Central Criminal Court in London on January 19.

A 36-year-old man from Burngreave is still being questioned.

A 41 year old man, from Meersbrook, Sheffield, was released without charge.
