Five men from London, who were arrested near RAF Fairford on suspicion of terrorism offences, have been released on police bail. The arrests, made after three suspicious vehicles were reported, led to a major incident declaration and the evacuation of dozens of homes. Counter Terrorism Policing is exploring multiple lines of inquiry, including the possibility of involvement by foreign states.
The five UK nationals in their 20s were all detained on suspicion of explosives-related offences and preparation of a terrorist act. They live in Westminster, Camden, and Willesden. One of the men, who lives in Westminster, claims she was able to spot the suspicious vehicles "pure luck" and called police, which she believes helped prevent any potential attack.
