Summary

Two Latvian men, aged 36 and 32, were arrested after breaching the perimeter fence of RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire on October 8, 2026. An abandoned vehicle discovered during a Ministry of Defence Police security patrol led to the discovery of a breach in the fence. The men were found inside the base and initially arrested on suspicion of trespassing and criminal damage, then re-arrested under the National Security Act 2023 on suspicion of entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK. RAF Molesworth houses U.S. and NATO intelligence operations. The investigation is being led by Counter Terrorism Policing. Multiple reports state the incident is not believed to be linked to a separate suspected plot at RAF Fairford. Some reports note concerns about potential Russian or Iranian involvement, though other motives are also being considered. Explosive ordnance disposal officers were deployed but found no threat. One report indicates the men were released on bail.
