Two Latvian men were arrested inside RAF Molesworth after a security breach was reported at the Royal Air Force base in Cambridgeshire.
Police officers made the arrests on the base premises, though the exact circumstances of the breach were not disclosed. Authorities have not released further details about the men’s identities or the nature of the alleged offence.
In a statement, police said there was “nothing so far that suggests the incident at RAF Molesworth is linked to events surrounding RAF Fairford last month.” The Fairford incident, which drew media attention earlier, involved a separate security concern at the Gloucestershire airfield.
RAF Molesworth is a key logistics hub for the United Kingdom’s armed forces and hosts a range of aircraft and support units. The base has previously been cited in discussions about NATO cooperation and joint training exercises.
No additional information has been released at this time, and further updates will be provided as the investigation proceeds.
