3 Arrested in UK for Spying Suspectedly for China

0:00On March 4, three men have been arrested on suspicion of spying for China as part of a counter-terrorism-policing probe. The suspects include a 39-year-old picked up in London, a 68-year-old in Powell's Wales, and a 43-year-old in Ponyclun, Wales. Officers took them into custody under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act after accusing them of helping Chinese intelligence under the National Security Act. Searches happened at their homes, plus three more spots in London, East Kilbride, and Cardiff. Counter-terrorism teams have noted a big uptick in national security cases lately, working hand in hand with partners to stay ahead of threats. These arrests come from proactive police work, and officials say there's no immediate danger to the public right now. The investigation is still underway with support from teams in Wales and Scotland, aiming to shut down any risky activities early.
