The two arrested men were initially detained on suspicion of committing criminal damage, but later rearrested under the Terrorism Act.
Police spent much of yesterday searching an address in Lymington Road, Torquay, which required the evacuation of a small number of neighbouring properties, including a 31-week pregnant woman. The road cordons have now been removed, although police remain at the property.
