2:19Now PlayingA man has been arrested after apparently trying to drive through a checkpoint at a base used by the US air force in Suffolk.
RAF Mildenhall was put into lockdown as police responded to reports of what they called a "significant incident".
A person was arrested and is now in the custody of Suffolk Police.
A US military statement said the base was locked down at 13:00 GMT "following reports of a disturbance" and emergency personnel were deployed.
Suffolk police are advising people to avoid the area for the time being.
RAF Mildenhall is used as a transport hub by the USAF and is home to the KC-135 tanker fleet and special operations forces.
It has about 3,200 military personnel, with 400-500 UK civilian staff employed there.
