A British man, Joshua Cammidge, is charged with allegedly preparing an act of sabotage involving a UK drone factory for Russia. The case is heard at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where he appears following his arrest.
According to reporting, Cammidge, 31, is accused under the National Security Act, with allegations that he assisted a foreign intelligence service and intended to commit or engage in conduct to prepare sabotage. The outlets describe his arrest at his home in Swindon last week. Details about the specific target, methods, or timeframe for the alleged plot were not set out in the provided summaries.
While the three sources align on the central charge and the Russia-related allegation, their wording differs slightly: one describes “preparing to sabotage,” another frames it as “assisting a foreign intelligence service,” and the financial press highlights “volunteering” in the context of the National Security Act charge. All accounts indicate the matter is at an early stage and is proceeding through the courts.
