A 24-year-old Royal Navy serviceman has been charged with two national security offences following an investigation by British counterterrorism police.

Teddy Young was arrested at his home in Bedfordshire on Tuesday and accused of obtaining or retaining classified information with the intention of benefiting a foreign power, as well as preparing to unlawfully disclose protected material.

The alleged offences occurred between November 26, 2024, and May 21, 2025, and fall under sections 1 and 18 of the National Security Act 2023. Authorities confirmed that the charges are unrelated to last month’s incident at RAF Fairford.



Counter Terror Policing commander Helen Flanagan described the allegations against a serving military member as extremely serious, saying investigators had coordinated closely with the Ministry of Defence to address potential security threats. Young remains in police custody pending an appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

  1. But the politicians were doing such a wonderful job, on their own, of sabotaging the UK military. Guess they don’t like competition….or perhaps this is false flag bullshit? Either way the UK is screwed as a so called”world power”. Its little more than a hanger on, riding the slowly failing US’s coat tails.
