司法 · RAF MolesworthTwo men arrested inside RAF Molesworth face national-security investigation文字 2026年10月8日 下午9:38 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:09On October 6th, we reported the incident near RAF Fairford.0:12Now police have arrested two men inside RAF Molesworth.0:16The arrests have escalated into a national security investigation at a military0:19intelligence site used mainly by US forces.0:22What evidence explains why the men were inside its perimeter?0:25Police found both men inside RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire after discovering a0:30small breach in the perimeter fence.0:32Counterterrorism Policing London is leading the inquiry into their purpose, not0:36announcing a proven plot.0:38The men are Latvian nationals who live in the United Kingdom.0:41Their names have not been established.0:43Their nationality and residence do not establish an immigration offense, a0:47connection to Latvia's government, or involvement by any other state.0:50A security patrol discovered the abandoned vehicle at about 10 p.m.0:54on October 7th.0:55The men were found and arrested at about 2 a.m.0:58on October 8th, roughly four hours later.1:00That interval is not their established time inside the base.1:04The 10 p.m.1:04discovery was made by Ministry of Defense Police, not an arrest patrol finding the1:08men.1:09Ministry of Defense Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary searched the area and1:13found the small hole in the fence a few hours later.1:16Neither the precise moment of the breach nor responsibility for the damage has been1:19established.1:20The approximate 2 AM time does not establish the men's movements.1:24Interpreted as local British time, it corresponds to 1 AM UTC because Britain was on1:29British summer time.1:30The available 2 AM wording does not explicitly name its time zone.1:33The supported ages are 32 and 36.1:36A conflicting age of 35 for the older man remains unexplained, with no established1:41correction.1:42That discrepancy does not change the confirmed number of men arrested.1:452.1:46The initial arrests were on suspicion of trespass at a prohibited site and criminal1:50damage.1:50The men were then further arrested under Section 4 of the National Security Act 20231:55on suspicion of entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the United1:59Kingdom.2:00The further arrests identify a more serious suspicion, not a criminal charge or2:04finding of guilt.2:06Investigators must establish the men's purpose.2:09Being arrested under national security legislation does not establish that2:12prosecutors can prove the offense.2:14Section 4 covers more than entry.2:17Accessing, inspecting, passing over or under approaching or being near a prohibited2:21place, including causing an unmanned vehicle or device to do those things.2:25Those actions are not the complete legal test.2:28The full statutory requirements and maximum penalty have not been verified.2:31No unmanned device is established in this investigation.2:34Investigators had found nothing to suggest a connection to RAF Fairford.2:38Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counterterrorism Policing London, described an2:42early-stage inquiry examining possible motivation and keeping an open mind.2:46Her exact full remarks are not established.2:48That assessment neither proves a connection nor finally rules one out.2:52Descriptions placing the Fairford events in the previous week or last month do not2:56establish a verified incident date or investigative link.2:59A counter-terrorism inquiry alone does not establish a terrorist plot, foreign3:03direction, or a common operation involving both sites.3:06Officers searched two addresses in Peterborough.3:09Also described as the Peterborough area.3:12No search findings have been established.3:14Bomb disposal officers examined the abandoned vehicle and declared it not dangerous.3:18The precautionary cordon near the A1 and Glatton was lifted.3:22The vehicle examination ended that immediate precaution, but does not establish3:26whether the vehicle contains other evidence.3:28There is no established account of weapons or explosives recovered at Molesworth, an3:32injury, entry into a particular building, or compromised intelligence information.3:36Molesworth hosts an intelligence hub used mainly by US forces in Europe with US and3:41NATO significance.3:42Its replacement Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex is intended to consolidate3:46approximately 1,700 personnel into a modern facility, replacing outdated3:50infrastructure.3:51That is planned project scale, not a verified current staffing count.3:55The project is connected to the Joint Intelligence Operations Center Europe3:59Analytics Center.4:00Groundbreaking took place on April 12, 2024.4:03The DIA public affairs announcement was dated April 23rd.4:06Neither milestone establishes completion or access by the arrested men.4:09A £219 million U.S.-funded works contract is verified.4:14A separate figure of around £400 million describes the intelligence facility, but is4:18not verified as an official total or final cost.4:21The numbers cannot simply replace one another.4:23The contract was announced on July 5th, 2023, for U.S.4:27Air Force European Infrastructure Consolidation Works at Molesworth.4:31Different spending scopes could explain the two figures.4:34No completion date or verified completed construction is established.4:38The project describes the sensitivity and scale of the site, not the suspect's4:42alleged objective.4:43The men's purpose remains unknown.4:45Both remained in custody on October 8th, with no later custody update or charging4:49decision established.4:51Their movements, responsibility for the fence damage, any eventual Fairford4:55connection, and what legal action follows remain unresolved.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片 ↗誰報導了什麼多家媒體報導的要點✓Arrests of the Latvian men at RAF Molesworth已獨立證實 · 4 家媒體✓Breach in RAF Molesworth’s perimeter fence已獨立證實 · 3
