Two more Chinese nationals arrested for taking photos at US Navy base
- Wang Yuhao and Zhang Jielun drove into a naval air station in Key West, Florida, despite being told they could not enter without military identification
- Pair are third and fourth Chinese nationals charged recently with illegally photographing the facility
Two more Chinese nationals have been arrested for illegally taking photographs at a US naval base in Florida, court records show.
The arrests over the weekend of Wang Yuhao and Zhang Jielun bring to four the number of Chinese people charged recently with snapping pictures at the Naval Air Station Key West in Florida.
An FBI affidavit says Wang and Zhang drove up to an air station annex entrance and were told by a security officer they could not enter the property without military identification.
The FBI says the pair drove onto the base anyway and were apprehended by authorities about 30 minutes later after taking photos of structures on the base.
The two had an initial court appearance on Monday and have bail hearings on Friday in Key West federal court.
