LONDON (Reuters) - Police said on Saturday they had arrested a man under the Official Secrets Act, but declined to comment on a report he was accused of spying for Moscow.

The man, in his 20s, was arrested by officers from London's Metropolitan Police in Leeds. The London police force operates outside the capital in secrets cases under its counter-terrorism command, a spokeswoman said.

The man was arrested on Wednesday evening under the Official Secrets Act of 1911 and then further arrested under the Explosive Substances Act of 1883, police said in a statement.

Just read the Telegraph article. Couldn't suppress a chuck at this quote:

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that MI5 now believes there are 30 intelligence officers working "under cover" in the Russian embassy who are trying to steal Britain's military and political secrets.

They always try to sound so indignant about such things. Those pesky foreigners spying on us while all our own Embassies and Consulates are staffed by squeaky clean diplomatic types.
We are most likely spied upon more by our allies than our supposed enemies.
