Three people have been arrested on suspicion of a terror offence, after two planes at an RAF base were vandalised in an action claimed by soon-to-be banned campaign group Palestine Action.
Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) said a woman, aged 29, and two men, aged 36 and 24, have been taken into police custody after the incident at RAF Brize Norton on June 20.
A 41-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, they said.
Palestine Action previously posted footage online showing people inside the Oxfordshire base, with one person appearing to ride an electric scooter up to an Airbus Voyager air-to-air refuelling tanker, before spray painting into its jet engine.
CTPSE said the four arrests were made in London and the Newbury area of Berkshire yesterday.
