A man has been arrested on suspicion of supplying a firearm following the fatal shooting of a police officer in a custody suite.
Sergeant Matt Ratana died in hospital after being shot at Croydon Custody Centre in south London in the early hours of Friday.
The arrest took place in Norwich around 2am this morning and the suspect is currently being detained at a south London police station.
Meanwhile, the suspect for the shooting remains in a critical condition in hospital and officers investigating the murder say they have not yet been able to speak to him.
Sgt Ratana, 54, was allegedly attacked by a man who had been handcuffed who investigators say then shot himself.
Friends and teammates of the officer, who was a popular rugby head coach, have gathered in tribute to him.
Silences were held at East Grinstead Rugby Club and also at the National Police Memorial in London where a wreath-laying ceremony took place.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick described him as an "extraordinary person", adding: "He had a wonderful personality and he was very good at his job."
She said Sgt Ratana's death brings home the challenges of police work.
She said: "If some good can come out of this terrible incident... it would be that more people can understand a little bit about the challenges of police work.
"And to see us police as who we are - human beings, going to work to help people, to support people and to protect people.
"Matt was the epitome of that."
