36-year-old and 32-year-old Latvian nationals, living in the UK, were spotted
after an abandoned vehicle near RAF Molesworth's fence led to a search
uncovering a small breach. Initially held for trespass and criminal damage,
they face charges under the National Security Act for entering a prohibited
site in a way harmful to the UK.
Counter-terrorism police, led by Commander Helen Flanagan, are probing motives with an open mind and no links to recent incidents at other bases like RAF Fairford. The US-operated site hosts Europe's Joint Intelligence Operations Centre.
