Arrests have been made and houses searched in Southampton and Brighton last week over the Carnival Against the Arms Trade in Brighton. Two people were questioned over various alleged offences including the tipping of paint over a policeman during the carnival.
They were also asked questions relating to 'conspiracy to cause criminal damage' charges.
