Two employees at Czech game developer Bohemia Interactive, have been arrested on the Greek island Lemnos several Greek news agencies report. They were caught taking photographs of a military installation, and now face charges of espionage that could land in prison for as long as 20 years.

Bohemia's Marek Spanel confirmed the incident on the developer's forum without mentioning any details.

With Arma III taking place on the Greek islands Lemnos and Ai Straitis, it is presumed the employees were researching the area for the game. Perhaps going to far in the pursuit of realism and authenticity?

Hopefully, the issue can be resolved if no harm was intended.
