Blockade started at 7:45am before workers arrived.
Five people locked on to each other using arm tubes.
One locked on using a D'lock under a lorry on a wiegh-bridge. Two others climded onto porch at main enterance to the building and hung a banner. The revolving doors were locked.

First police arrived half hour later. The full specialist police team arrived a couple of hours later. The blockade held until about 1:00pm when police used phneumatic cutters to remove the d'lock. The arm tube ring was broken when somebody had to leave due to medical concerns. This enabled about 18 police officers to lift the chain of people out of the way. The protesters then waited until the police had demonstrated their technicque for cutting the steel tubes and then unlocked themselves.

There were 18 activists involved in the action. Eight were arrested - charged with Aggrevated tresspass (including the two on the roof which is clearly not going to stick). They are due to appear in court on Tuesday 29th in Cambridge.

The action took place at the same time as action at the Bayer AGM in Germany.
