Paramedic and two Britons held over missing weapons licence in mystery detention
Kevin Cornwell and Two Others Detained
Kevin Cornwell, 53, a Middlesbrough paramedic working for a charity, is one of three men held in a tense standoff. The second man remains unnamed, while the third is believed to be 23-year-old Miles Routledge from Birmingham, who was rescued from Afghanistan by British troops in August 2021.
Missing Weapon Licence Sparks Arrest
Sources say the trio’s detention centers on a missing licence for a weapon stored in Cornwell’s room. Details remain scarce, but authorities suggest this is the reason for the crackdown.
Legal Team and Official Response
Presidium Network represents Cornwell and the unnamed man but has no connection to Routledge. The firm says the men are in good health and receiving proper treatment, despite no official word from the authorities.
The Foreign Office confirmed it is actively trying to establish contact with the detained Brits to resolve the situation swiftly.
