The Police in England say five men have been arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act and explosive offences after three “suspicious vehicles” were reported travelling towards a Royal Air Force, RAF, base station, RAF Fairford.

Reports say a major incident was declared and dozens of homes near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire were evacuated following the report on Sunday.

Counter-terror police have begun investigation and an Army explosive ordnance disposal team has been examining vehicles near the base, which is used by the United States Air Force (USAF).
