Two Latvian men aged 36 and 32 are arrested on suspicion of trespass offences after police found a small breach near the perimeter of RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire. Multiple outlets report that officers spotted an abandoned vehicle during security patrols in the early hours of October 8 and that RAF base perimeter fencing was damaged or breached.
Police from the Ministry of Defence Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary carried out searches at the scene. Sky News, the BBC and others say UK police are investigating the incident, with counter-terror policing involvement mentioned by some outlets. The BBC and Metro report statements indicating the investigation is in the early stages and that officers are keeping an open mind about motivation.
Several newspapers describe the men as having allegedly broken through or breached the perimeter fence, while others focus more generally on trespass suspicion. Metro and the BBC also report that the suspects are living in the UK. None of the sources indicate yet that charges have been brought or that a link to other recent military-site incidents has been established.
