Information provided from a number of UK sources suggests that there has been an increase in reports relating to incidents in which individuals have been seen filming various UK venues and when challenged, claim to be foreign journalists.
Whilst such cases may be entirely innocent, such events could raise the spectre that such persons could be carrying out a reconnaissance of that location.
Security staff should be alert to such events and if there is any doubt as to the authenticity of their credentials or if they are suspicious as to their explanation, the police should be contacted as soon as possible. For confidential reports to police, the anti terrorist hot line number is 0800 789 321.
