RAF Brize Norton attack: 22-year-old arrested as terrorism investigation continues

The arrest follows four people being charged last month in connection with the incident, which saw two Voyager planes damaged at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, on 20 June.

Another arrest has been made in connection with two aircraft being damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

A 22-year-old man, of no fixed abode, was arrested on Friday in Bedford on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000, Counter Terrorism Policing South said.

Two Voyager planes were damaged at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, on 20 June.

The arrested man is currently in police custody, police added.

The Palestine Action group claimed responsibility for causing £7m worth of damage to the aircraft.

Four people were charged last month in connection with the security breach and vandalism.

Amy Gardiner-Gibson, 29, Lewie Chiaramello, 22, Daniel George Jeronymides-Norie, 36, and Jony Cink, 24, are accused of conspiring to damage the aircraft and entering a prohibited area.

They are alleged to have ridden scooters onto RAF Brize Norton and sprayed the planes with red paint on 20 June.
