An Iranian man and a woman have been charged after reports of two people trying to get into Faslane Naval base, where Britain’s nucelar submarines are based.
Police Scotland said the 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have been charged.

“A 34-year-old Iranian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
“They are due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday, March 23.
