Sheffield Refugees get further police harrassment

Cops arrive at Sheffield house in early morning and threaten violence after being refused entry. After community support arrives and several hours talking they leave promising to return with tools to breakdown the door. The threat turns out to be empty.

Midnight 5 December 2006 and two Sheffield cops knock on the door, and attempt to force entry. After being made aware by the occupiers that they have no legal right to enter they threaten to enter with violence. After community support arrives and talking into the early hours they leave.

In the morning enquiries are made at the police station and we are told that "there was no police activity in that area last night"
