Two men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of a terror offence after two aircraft were damaged at RAF Brize Norton, police have said.

A second woman has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Counter Terrorism Policing South East said in a statement: "A 29-year-old woman of no fixed abode, and two men; aged 36 and 24, both from London, were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

"A 41-year-old woman, of no fixed abode, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

"The arrests, which took place yesterday [Thursday] in Newbury, Berkshire, and in London, are in connection with an incident in the early hours of [last] Friday during which damage was caused to two aircraft at RAF Brize Norton.

"Those arrested are currently in police custody while enquiries are ongoing."

Palestine Action posted video online claiming it was behind the vandalism at the Oxfordshire airbase last Friday.
