Two Latvian men, aged 32 and 26, were arrested at RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire on suspicion of trespassing and causing criminal damage after being found inside the base early Thursday morning. They were also questioned under section 4 of the National Security Act 2023 for entering a prohibited site with intent to harm national security. The men have since been released on bail as police continue investigating their motives, which include checking if there is any connection to an incident near RAF Fairford in September.

Story summary
On October 9, two Latvian men, aged 32 and 36, were arrested inside RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire, an RAF base used by the US military and NATO for intelligence operations. The arrests followed a security patrol discovering an abandoned vehicle near the facility on Wednesday evening around 10 PM, leading to searches that uncovered a small breach in the perimeter fence. The men were found inside the base at about 2 AM on Thursday and were initially arrested on suspicion of trespassing and causing criminal damage. They were later re-arrested under Section 4 of the National Security Act 2023, accused of entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK.
Both men, who reside in the UK, have been released on bail with strict conditions as police continue their investigation into their presence at the site. Commander Helen Flanagan from Counter Terrorism Policing London stated that while they are aware of recent concerns around military sites, there is currently no evidence linking this incident to a separate event near RAF Fairford in September. The base houses NATO's Intelligence Fusion Centre and the US Joint Intelligence Operations Center for Europe, which provide crucial intelligence support to their respective organizations.
