The two Latvian nationals were apprehended at RAF Molesworth after breaching the base's security perimeter, according to police statements released Tuesday. The circumstances surrounding their entry and detention remain under investigation by local law enforcement authorities.
Police officials stated that preliminary inquiries found nothing to suggest the breach at RAF Molesworth was related to an incident last month involving RAF Fairford, another Royal Air Force station. Both bases are located in England and fall under RAF operations.
Details regarding the individuals' identities, their intentions, and the method used to circumvent base security have not been disclosed. The incident highlights ongoing security concerns at military installations across the United Kingdom.
Royal Air Force officials have not released additional commentary on the matter. The investigation into the unauthorized base entry is continuing.
