• Police are investigating an attack by animal rights terrorists which left seven trucks damaged over the weekend.
The overnight raid on the Brackley, Northants premises of chicken distributor Buxted Fresh Quality Poultry last weekend caused tens of thousands of pounds of damage, including the complete destruction of one truck, Animal liberation activists, who said they belonged to no particular group, claimed responsibility for placing a number of fire bombs in Buxted's site on the Buckingham Road Industrial Estate.
The company, which does not keep or slaughter chickens, declines to comment on the incident.
Northamptonshire police are appealing for witnesses. "Whoever did this must have used a vehicle to get to Buxted's premises," says a spokeswoman.
