Lockdown: UK military in security panic after RAF base ‘abduction attempt’
UK military bases are in a state of panic with a number on alert after what appeared to be the attempted abduction of an airman at RAF Marham in Norfolk.
Hours after two men were reported to have tried to bundle an airman who had gone jogging outside camp into a vehicle at knife point on Thursday, an army base in Wiltshire went on high alert after there were reports of three people with a long-barrelled weapon on a local bridge.
Police in the Bulford Camp area sent up a helicopter and deployed armed officers but no people or weapons were spotted.
Marham is home to fighter jet squadrons currently bombing the Middle East, while Bulford is home to the British Army’s military police HQ and a number of infantry units.
The suspected Marham kidnappers are still on the run, according to statements from Norfolk police.
