Revealed: Security breaches at Shropshire's military bases
Lost ID cards accounted for the majority of security breaches at armed force bases in Shropshire last year, new figures have revealed.
Security at the region's bases was breached on nearly 100 occasions, according to the Ministry of Defence.
The figures released to the Shropshire Star following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request show the most breaches came at RAF Cosford, with 81 breaches classed as 'loss' in 2017.
The MoD said the reason the statistics for loss increased in 2016/17 is due to a change in policy of how ID cards are reported and captured.
The figures also show there were six breaches of security at RAF Shawbury last year – five classed as loss and one of theft.
There were also three loss incidents at MoD Donnington and one relating to a breach/contravention of security policy.
