Counter terror officers continue to investigate Gloucestershire Police officer
The constable in his 30's was arrested in Gloucester.
Counter terror officers are continuing to investigate a Gloucestershire Police officer.
The force says the constable in his 30's is being questioned after being arrested on suspicion of supporting Hamas.
The officer was detained at a property in Gloucester and taken to a custody unit outside the county.
He's been arrested on suspicion of providing support to Hamas which is believed to have taken place online.
Specialist officers are carrying out a number of searches as part of their investigation - including a vehicle and an address in Gloucester.
They're also looking for digital devices so they can be analysed.
Gloucestershire Police Assistant Chief Constable Arman Mathieson said: "The arrest of a serving officer on suspicion of such a serious offence will no doubt cause our communities concern, as it does everyone who works for Gloucestershire Police.
"It's important to note the suspected support relates to activity online and the searches taking place are predominately to locate digital devices for analysis.
"The arrest has been made to allow for a prompt and effective investigation to take place and we must not draw any conclusions at this stage."
