Two Latvian men, aged 32 and 36, who live in the UK, were arrested at 2am inside RAF Molesworth in an investigation that began four hours earlier.

The suspects were further arrested on suspicion of an offence under section 4 of the National Security Act 2023 — entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK. The base is home to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)’s Intelligence Fusion Centre and the US Joint Intelligence Operations Center, Europe, according to The Guardian.
