Interesting... they have time to raid activists houses yet no time to protect a mother and her children from people that posted fireworks through her door and burned her house down with her in it?

You can certainly tell where the cops priorities lay, protection of corporate interest comes first and foremost.

True.....police don't care about rapists, bullies and other scum

10.11.2009 14:47

The police ignore raping scum, burglars, etc. People who harrass and pester people ....if anyone did this to anyone from HLS or Sequani we woule never hear the end of it.

FOUR people have been arrested as part of an investigation into animal rights extremists and a spate of criminal damage across Hampshire.

The police swooped after property attacks in Hedge End, Fareham, Winchester and Farnborough.

A 26-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, both from Gosport, could face conspiracy charges.

A 19-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from Worcestershire have also been arrested.

Officers are carrying out a fingertip search of their house in Clarence Road and the pair remain in custody.

Boat Lane

10.11.2009 19:00

So once again the police search the house but don't arrest the former AR infiltrator (for hunt scum) who owns the house. Maybe the police are doing this on purpose so people suspect Lynn. Maybe there are other reasons. How long had the 2 arrested at Boat lane been staying there for?

Hmmm


Nicks

10.11.2009 19:03

Two at Gosport and it looks like two in Worcester.

Anybody up for a picket?

So-lid


Little more detail....

10.11.2009 19:08

TWO people have been arrested in Evesham in connection with an investigation into animal rights extremism.

A 19-year-old man from Evesham and a 20-year-old woman from Evesham were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage and are currently in custody helping police with their enquiries.

The arrests were made after a warrant was executed at an address in Boat Lane, Evesham, Worcestershire today as part of an ongoing investigation in Hampshire.

Officers are searching the address and the search is expected to continue for some time.

The arrests relate to incidents of criminal damage that occurred in the Winchester, Fareham, Hedge End and Farnborough areas of Hampshire in September and October 2008.

A man and a woman from Gosport were also arrested at an address in Clarence Road, Gosport, Hampshire.

11.11.2009 07:15

NETCU needs funding for more donuts again...

11.11.2009 14:17

I thought NETCU and their cronies had been quiet for a tad too long, I guess it is about time they tried to make themselves look a bit less useless huh.

Sounds like the usual hysterics from Britain's 'finest', targeting the important problems that are breaking down our society.. knife crime, rape, muggings, domestic violence, child abuse.. oh wait, I meant to say.. protesters! Scrap those previous crimes, they don't affect big business so they don't really count as worthy of police time. Nevermind.

In terms of solidarity demos, I'm pretty sure those locked up would like people to do demos which support the reason for their incarceration - so pick a HLS target and go for it (demo that is! ahem..)

How's it going Steve?

So Steve how is the reducing stress going? Still blowing your top at home? Maybe you should look into the therapy a bit more. We all know the pressure you are under but you shouldn't be taking it out on your loved ones.

For there sake, let's stop this

11.11.2009 16:58

The infiltration of our movement by NECTU, Mi5 and private security mercenery types employed by big pharma is now the principle cause of arrests like this and still nobody does anything. We all know it and yet we respond to arrests like this with childish name calling of police that are involved, I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

There are people posting on Indy and other websites that are sympathetic to our cause that are well known grasses, nobody pulls them on it. An activist received payment from the state only two months ago for information passing and this was put down as understandable because of their financial difficulties at the time, when I heard I just could not think it true and yet I was told I was "aggressive" and "anti-feminist" for suggesting the person was thrown out of our group !

SHAC is a mess, the main players are either banged up or under observation 24/7, Stop Sequani has got nowhere and is almost certainly controlled by a grass, we all know who I mean. Does anybody care or do anything ? No they do fuck all and the result of all this is that the bastards at HLS and the rest continue to torture and imprison the animals.

Our movement in in a mess, we need to face up to it, to re group and start over.

No grasses, no trust until somebody is vouched for and has proved themself, no more A to B marches and fund raising bullshit to pay for peoples cars and houses, no more turning a blind eye to infiltrators because they are relatives of activists.

HLS should be smashed and smashed today.

I'm sorry to say all this but my frustration is at boiling point and I can't take it anymore, if this was children being treated like the animals are then the people responsible would be stoned on the streets but we do nothing but talk and talk.

I don't know what to do anymore.
