RAF Marham
There have been widespread reports that police investigating the attempted abduction of an RAF serviceman in Norfolk have received over 150 calls after they released e-fit images of two suspects.
Daily Mirror (p4), The Sun (p11), The Times (p18) and Daily Star (p7) all report that police have set up roadblocks in the village to ask drivers whether they had been in the area last week and some were able to provide dashboard camera footage which will be reviewed.
Yesterday, Armed Forces Minister Mike Penning visited RAF Marham to meet personnel to reassure them after last week’s attempted abduction, discussing operations and emphasising the commitment to keeping personnel safe.
Minister for the Armed Forces Mike Penning said:
I was pleased to visit Marham to reassure personnel and their families that their security is of the utmost importance. We’re are in constant liaison with police and intelligence services around the country and review and amend our security arrangements continually to try and ensure our people and their families are safe.
