"However, there was no intelligence to suggest that this attack was being planned and the investigation had been prioritized accordingly," police said in a statement. Late on Saturday the three attackers drove south across London Bridge, mowing down pedestrians before stabbing bystanders in the nearby Borough Market area. British police are stretched by the number of people they believe could potentially commit an act of terrorism. There are 500 current investigations involving 3,000 potential suspects. "A small number of the highest priority investigations involve current attack planning, and these investigations command a significant proportion of our resource," police said.
