British police said on Saturday they had found no evidence to charge anyone with a terrorism offence linked ​to a suspected threat against an Islamic event in ‌eastern England last weekend.

Thirteen people had been arrested between Sunday and Thursday after police became aware of a "potential serious threat" towards the ​religious event, attended by about 15,000 people at a ​country house in Suffolk.

Of those, eight men had been ⁠detained under the Terrorism Act but seven of them ​were released without charge on Saturday, the police said.

The remaining ​man, 42, was charged with possession of offensive weapons — extendable batons — and the possession of a stun gun, after items were recovered during searches.

Police ​said those offences were not believed to be connected ​to the alleged threat.

"We have found no evidence to support anyone being ‌charged ⁠with any offences linked to the alleged threat," Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said in a statement.

She said enquiries were ongoing and that police would not ​hesitate to take ​further action ⁠if threats to the public were identified.

Officers seized more than 35 digital devices during the investigation, ​which included searches of homes and vehicles.

Britain ​raised its ⁠national terrorism threat level to "severe" in April, signalling that an attack was considered highly likely.

Interior minister Shabana Mahmood said last ⁠week that ​she knew the arrests would be ​concerning for British Muslims.

Flanagan said she wanted to reassure the Muslim community that ​enquiries were continuing.
