Two Latvian men arrested after a fence was breached at a Cambridgeshire RAF base have been bailed.
Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) security patrols at RAF Molesworth, which is used by the US military and Nato for intelligence operations, identified an abandoned vehicle at about 22:00 BST on Wednesday.
The pair, aged 36 and 32 and who live in the UK, were subsequently arrested inside the perimeter a few hours after searches found a small breach of the fence at the site.
Both were taken to a Cambridgeshire police station and have since been bailed with "strict conditions", the Metropolitan Police said.
