All the 12 people arrested by the the London Metropolitan police over the London Bridge terror attack have been released without charges, Scotland Yard said.
The Independent reports that the 12 include seven women and five men, who were arrested in Barking on Sunday following Saturday's terror attacks which left seven dead and 48 injured.
A 55-year-old man and 53-year-old woman were released on Monday. The remaining 10 people - six women aged between 19 and 60 and four men between 27 and 55 - were released later in the day, meaning all 12 have now been released without charge.
The arrests were made after police raided properties in Barking on Sunday and two on Monday in Newham and Barking.
Police have so far identified two of the three attackers as Khuram Shazad Butt, a 27-year-old British citizen born in Pakistan, and Rachid Redouane, who claimed to be Moroccan-Libyan.
Butt was known to the security services, but there was no evidence of "attack planning" by him, according to Scotland Yard.
