Parsons Green terror attack – is this the moment bomber left Surrey home to carry out Tube attack wearing same red hat ‘that helped cops find him’?
A SUSPECT is filmed carrying a Lidl cool bag — and wearing the same colour hat that reportedly led to his eventual capture — apparently on his way to plant the bucket bomb which exploded on a Tube train.
The youth, in a grey top and red beanie, was caught by a neighbour’s CCTV camera on Friday.
The mysterious figure can be seen leaving a home, that has since been raided by police, at around 6.50am on Friday morning, reports.
A device later partially detonated at Parsons Green station in South West London, injuring 30 people.
Cops swooped on a property in Sunbury-on-Thames yesterday after a teenager was arrested in Dover in connection with the attack.
A distinctive red hat he was wearing - matching CCTV images taken from the crime scene - helped officers to identify him, according to The Times.
Tourist Daniel Vaselicu, 31, claims he saw a "young and light-skinned" man being quizzed by two cops moments before being led away.
He said: "My opinion was that he was a homeless guy and that's why they were interrogating him.
"He was looking normal, not fighting or worried or concerned."
The raided home in Sunbury belongs to Ron and Penny Jones who received an MBE in 2009 for fostering hundreds of kids.
The respected couple are known for their work with refugee children, and reports have claimed the arrested suspect was an Iraqi teen.
The road remains cordoned off today as anti-terror cops continue to search the area after ordering people out of their homes in the dramatic raid yesterday.
Neighbours told how armed cops descended on the quiet residential street.
Steven Griffiths, 28, who lives opposite elderly foster couple, said: "When I saw the blacked out van and the guns, I thought that this wasn't a little thing.
“Penny was telling the police with guns where stuff would be placed in her house.
"I said to my mum: 'They are going in to kill. This is something crazy.'
“We were at the windows and the police shouted up to us and said to please get away from the windows and I told her: 'It's a terror investigation.'
"Police with balaclavas were at our door telling us we had five minutes to pack up and leave.”
Dave Solway, 44, who also lives opposite Mr and Mrs Jones, said: "Counter-terror police began banging on their front door with shields, bomb-proof shields.
"I saw Penny being pulled out basically, I didn't see Ron, don't know if he was there.
"There was loads of them, it was swarmed, there must have been a good 15-20 easily round the back, front, side of the house.
"It was quite scary, they told us to get away from our windows and go to the back of the house.
"They then said that we had 10 minutes, then they went two minutes, then 'get out now'."
Mr Griffiths also claimed he was told a bomb was found in the back garden of the home, where a forensic tent remains in place today.
Police have not confirmed or denied the claims another device was discovered.
Cops today swooped to arrest a second suspect in connection with the bombing as the probe into the attack picks up pace.
The 21-year-old man was arrested in Hounslow, West London, shortly before midnight last night.
He was arrested under section 41 of the Terrorism Act and taken to a south London police station where he remains in custody.
Following the arrest police searched an address in Stanwell, Surrey, where a forensics team and several police vehicles were seen in attendance.
The property is just yards away from the runway at Heathrow Airport, raising concerns the busy transport hub could have been on the suspects’ radar – although cops have not commented on this.
It is understood that the person registered to the address has links to Sunbury foster carers Ron and Penny Jones.
But the classification means they think an attack is still highly likely.
Ms Rudd today said that it seemed the Parsons Green bomber was not a lone wolf, but added: “It’s too early to reach any final conclusions on that.”
She told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “This has been a year like no other - we’ve seen five serious attacks and six that were foiled by the police.”
Asked about Donald Trump’s tweets on the attack, Ms Rudd joined the chorus of criticism, saying: “It’s never helpful to have speculation about an ongoing investigation and I would include the President of the United States in that.”
She said his claim that Scotland Yard had the bomber “in their sights” was not based on an intelligence leak and was “pure speculation”.
