两名拉脱维亚男子因在剑桥郡的一处由美军和北约使用的皇家空军基地内被捕，现已获准保释。
Two Latvian men have been released on bail after being arrested at an RAF base in Cambridgeshire used by the US military and Nato.
这两名男子年龄分别为32岁和26岁，于周四凌晨2点被捕。当时他们被发现在剑桥郡的莫尔斯沃思皇家空军基地内，该基地是美军和北约用于情报行动的场所。
The two men, aged 32 and 26, were arrested at 2am on Thursday after they were discovered inside RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire, which is used by the US military and Nato for intelligence operations.
调查始于四小时前，即周三晚上10点左右，当时军事警察在该基地附近发现了一辆被遗弃的车辆。随后，军事警察与剑桥郡警方联合行动，发现基地外围围栏上有一个小洞，最终在基地内找到并逮捕了这两名男子。
An investigation had begun four hours earlier, when military police found an abandoned vehicle near the facility at around 10pm on Wednesday. Military police, joined by officers from Cambridgeshire police, discovered a small hole in the perimeter fence, before finding and arresting the two men inside the base.
这两名嫌疑人均为拉脱维亚籍，目前居住在英国。他们最初因涉嫌非法进入禁区及故意破坏财物而被捕；随后又因涉嫌违反《2023年国家安全法》第4条规定——即出于危害英国利益的目的进入禁地——而被进一步拘留。目前他们已在满足严格保释条件的情况下获释，警方仍在继续调查。
The suspects, both Latvian nationals currently resident in the UK, were initially arrested on suspicion of trespass on a prohibited site and causing criminal damage. They were then further arrested on suspicion of an offence under section 4 of the National Security Act 2023, namely entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the UK. They have since been released on bail, with strict conditions, as the police continue their investigation.
伦敦反恐警务部门负责人海伦·弗拉纳根指挥官表示，警方“十分清楚近期外界对军事基地的高度关注与担忧”，但目前的调查并未发现此案与今年9月份发生在费尔福德皇家空军基地附近的事件存在关联。
Commander Helen Flanagan, the head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said they were "very aware of the recent heightened interest and concern around military sites", but that there was nothing from their investigation so far to suggest a connection to an incident near RAF Fairford in September.
她补充道：“我们的调查仍在进行中，正与国防部警察及剑桥郡警方密切合作。目前的关键调查方向是查明这两名男子出现在该地的动机，包括是否涉及任何犯罪活动。”
"Our investigation continues and we are working closely with colleagues from the Ministry of Defence police and Cambridgeshire constabulary on this. A key line of inquiry remains to identify any potential motivation behind why the men were at that location, and this includes whether it may be connected to any criminal activity," she added.
此后，警方围绕此案对彼得伯勒地区的多处住所展开了两次搜查，那辆被遗弃的车辆也被转移至附近的警局存放。
Officers have since carried out two searches at addresses in the Peterborough area in connection with the investigation. The abandoned vehicle was also taken to a nearby police location.
莫尔斯沃思皇家空军基地位于亨廷登以西，这里是北约情报融合中心以及美国欧洲联合情报行动中心的所在地。
Located west of Huntingdon, RAF Molesworth is home to Nato's Intelligence Fusion Centre and the US Joint Intelligence Operations Center, Europe.
