Three individuals have been charged in connection with a counter-terrorism investigation following a break-in at a business location in Hampshire.
Authorities responded to the premises on Harvest Crescent in Fleet during the early hours of Sunday after security personnel reported that intruders had gained unauthorized access and inflicted significant damage.
A police officer from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary was assaulted during the incident but fortunately did not sustain any injuries. According to Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE), three suspects were subsequently arrested.
CTPSE confirmed that the individuals have been charged with aggravated burglary and criminal damage, and they have been remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates‘ Court on Tuesday.
The suspects include Steven Davies, 57, from Slade Road in Birmingham, and Dolores Gnapi, 34, from Tariff Crescent in Lewisham, London, both facing charges of aggravated burglary and criminal damage. Additionally, Ian Roberts, 51, from McDougall Road in Wednesbury, West Midlands, has been charged with assaulting an emergency worker.
Authorities reported that no employees at the business were harmed during the break-in. CTPSE announced on Monday that it has taken the lead in the investigation and is collaborating closely with the Hampshire police as inquiries continue.
