Bedfordshire Police launched an investigation into the activities of proscribed terrorist organisation Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) and, using a range of tactics, officers gathered evidence and intelligence which they shared with the Met Police in 2015.

The evidence included the fact that the five men had attended meetings in June and July 2015 at a church in Luton and a marquee in Rahman’s back garden.
