A man suspected of sending a letter with a bomb threat to a mosque has been detained in Yorkshire, England, South Yorkshire Police said on Friday.

Earlier in the month, local media reported that a Mosque in the English city of Rotherham had received a bomb threat signed with the number 1488 which neo-Nazi groups are believed to use.

“At Friday morning, a 43-year-old man from Plymouth was arrested under the Malicious Communications Act by officers from the North East Counter Terrorism Unit,” the police statement reads.

According to the statement, police are currently interrogating the suspect.
