Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has charged four people as part of an investigation into an incident in which damage was caused to aircraft at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire.  

Following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the following were charged today (2/7) with conspiracy to enter a prohibited place knowingly for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom, and conspiracy to commit criminal damage, both offences being contrary to section 1(1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977. 

• Amy Gardiner-Gibson, aged 29, of no fixed abode 
• Daniel Jeronymides-Norie, aged 35, of Friern Barnet Lane, London

• Lewie Chiaramello, aged 22, of Olive Road, London 

They were remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (3/7).  

The CPS will be submitting to the court that these offences have a terrorist connection. 

The charges are in connection with an incident in the early hours of Friday 20 June in which damage totalling around £7m was caused to two aircraft at RAF Brize Norton. 

A 41-year-old woman, who was arrested on Thursday (26/6) on suspicion of assisting an offender, was released on bail until 19 September.  

A 23-year-old man arrested on Saturday (28/6) was released without charge.
