The Warwickshire police said on Sunday that “several arrests” were made following a standoff provoked by a group of 30 armed men entering the Gurdwara Sahib Leamington Spa and Warwick, ostensibly to prevent an interfaith marriage. “A number of arrests made on suspicion of aggravated trespass following incident at Gurdwara Leamington Temple”, the police said, after reporting that armed officers had cordoned off the gurdwara to deal with the group that was carrying swords. The Warwickshire police said the incident was not being treated as a terrorist incident. “We believe that some of the men are in possession of bladed items and as such armed officers have been deployed to the scene. We would like to reassure people that this is not being treated as a terrorist incident”.
