 The suspected spies accused of spying for Russia in the UK led ordinary suburban lives and developed a taste for the classic English breakfast. Orlin Roussev, 45, Biser Dzhambazov, 42, and Katrin Ivanova, 31, all Bulgarian nationals, were arrested as part of a major police sting on their homes in Harrow, London, and Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, in February. But it was only yesterday that details of the charges emerged and they were put under the spotlight. They were charged with possessing false passports and ID cards and other documents 'with improper intention' under the Identity Documents Act. Even when they were arrested, neighbours voiced their shock at the three who held down ordinary jobs and had not drawn any suspicion for many years. Dzhambazov and Ivanova lived in a rented £1,100-a-month apartment in a modern block of flats in Harrow. Ivanova moved to the UK to work as a laboratory assistant for a private healthcare company, while Dzhambazov was a hospital driver.

Dzhambazov developed a love for hashbrowns and ordered these on the side too. Simon said the couple blended in very well to the local community and said: 'No one would give them a second glance. 'It is not something that you would expect, and it is quite a shock. 'I can't say that I am worried. There have been three stabbings in Harrow and that worries me more.' They both ran a community organisation providing services for Bulgarians living in the UK, including help familiarising them with the 'culture){kind=link}
