Posted on July 17, 2025July 17, 2025 by Dissent

PA News Agency reports:

Four young people who were arrested for their suspected involvement in the damaging cyber attacks against Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Harrods, have been bailed.

The arrests on July 10 included a 17-year-old British man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old Latvian man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old British man from London, and a 20-year-old British woman from Staffordshire.

A spokesperson for the National Crime Agency (NCA) said on Wednesday: “All four individuals have been bailed pending further inquiries.”

They were all arrested from their home address on suspicion of blackmail, money laundering, offences linked to the Computer Misuse Act, and participating in the activities of an organised crime group, according to the NCA.

DataBreaches emailed the NCA yesterday to inquire what conditions were imposed as part of being bailed, if any, but no reply has been received as yet.
