Two Latvian men released on bail after arrest at RAF Molesworth
Found at RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire at 2am, the men were arrested on suspicion of entering a restricted military site and later released on strict bail.
Two Latvian men have been released on bail after being arrested for breaching the perimeter of a British airbase that is used by US military intelligence.
London police said the men, aged 36 and 32, were detained on suspicion of entering a restricted military site "with intent to damage the interests of the United Kingdom" after they were found at RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire at 2am yesterday.
Detained and released under strict conditions
Both men, who live in the UK, were taken to a Cambridgeshire police station and later granted bail subject to strict conditions while inquiries continue.
Commander Helen Flanagan, head of the Counter Terrorism Policing unit in London, said investigators were still working on "identifying any potential motivation for why the men were at that location."
She also reiterated that investigators have not found evidence linking the incident to the events at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire last month.
