Enquiries were conducted by the force with support of Counter Terrorism Policing London (CTP).

However, the investigation was closed, “pending new line of enquiry” and no arrests were made.

Since Ms Widdecombe’s death in July, counter-terrorism police have re-opened the burglary after identifying a new line of enquiry which was not pursued at the time.

CTP made a self-referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) today, to ensure their support on the burglary is thoroughly reviewed.

It has said it will “engage fully and comprehensively” with the policing watchdog.
