Police say vans at RAF Fairford held petrol, no bombs found

UK counter-terrorism officers searched the vans parked at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire after a security alert near the US-operated base. A quantity of petrol was found inside, but Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor confirmed that no improvised explosive devices were present. The investigation led to the arrest of five men, who were released on police bail pending further inquiry. Authorities emphasized that the public’s safety guided their investigative decisions. The suspects must adhere to stringent bail conditions while police continue their work on the case.
