British counter-terrorism police arrested two Latvian men, aged 32 and 36, near RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire after they were found inside a US Air Force base housing NATO intelligence operations. The arrests occurred when an abandoned vehicle was discovered during a security patrol, leading to the detection of a breach in the perimeter fence. The men faced initial charges of trespassing and criminal damage but were later re-arrested under the National Security Act 2023 for allegedly entering a restricted area with intentions harmful to national security.

Story summary
Two Latvian men, aged 32 and 36, were arrested inside RAF Molesworth, a Cambridgeshire base used by the US military and NATO for intelligence operations, early Thursday morning after being found near an abandoned vehicle outside the facility. Military police discovered the suspects through a breach in the perimeter fence. Initially charged with trespassing on a prohibited site and causing criminal damage, they were later re-arrested under the National Security Act 2023 on suspicion of entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK. Counter-terrorism police are now leading the investigation due to the sensitive nature of RAF Molesworth, which houses NATO’s Intelligence Fusion Centre and US Joint Intelligence Operations Center, Europe. The incident occurred amid heightened security concerns following recent events like the withdrawal of B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire over potential threats.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
