Two footballers associated with Queens Park Rangers (QPR) have been arrested on suspicion of voyeurism, following police intervention at the club's training facility in Hounslow, London.

The arrests were made by officers from the Metropolitan Police on Thursday, 27 February 2025. The individuals in custody are reported to be male players from the club's academy, both in their late teens.

The police action is believed to stem from an incident that allegedly occurred at a nightclub in Kingston, south London, on Wednesday, 5 February 2025. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police confirmed that the suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues.

The ongoing enquiry has been disclosed to include support for the victim from specialist officers.

Voyeurism, as defined under UK law, involves gaining sexual gratification by observing or recording an individual engaged in a private activity without their consent.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police stated, 'On Thursday, 27 February, police arrested two men in their late teens on suspicion of voyeurism.

Both suspects remain in custody and enquiries are ongoing.'

In light of the situation, QPR has issued a statement acknowledging the incident involving the two academy players.

The club's official response highlighted that the individuals are cooperating with police investigations, emphasizing that due to the nature of the ongoing inquiry, further comments would not be provided at this time.
