Did MI5 know these GRU agents were on the loose in the UK? If so why were they not under surveillance and intercepted. Calling for their arrest now, knowing it will probably never happen is an insult to the victims.

[@michaeldunham3385]

They would have entered using fake documents so why would MI5 know?
