Ann Widdecombe was found dead in her Devon home earlier this year
Counter-terror police investigating the death of Ann Widdecombe have re-opened an old probe into an attempted burglary last year.
The incident at an address in Greater London was reported in April 2025.
The Metropolitan Police and Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) London investigated but no arrests were made and the case was closed pending any new lines of inquiry.
Since it was re-opened, CTP London has identified a line of inquiry “which may have been relevant” but was “not identified and pursued by them at the time.”
Senior national co-ordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, Vicki Evans, said: “As part of the ongoing investigation led by Counter Terrorism Policing South East into the murder of Ann Widdecombe, officers have re-opened an investigation into an incident reported to police last year.”
CTP London made a “mandatory conduct referral” to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) on Friday.
