Littlehampton woman arrested as part of animal extremism investigation
A LITTLEHAMPTON woman was arrested this morning (Friday, January 18) as part of an on-going investigation into animal rights extremism.
The 50-year-old woman's home, In Thorncroft Road, is currently being searched by police, as part of Operation Achilles.
Police say that the arrest was in connection with an alleged conspiracy, targeting individuals and organisations, such as Huntington life Sciences, in Cambridgeshire.
In May 2007, 32 people were arrested as part of the operation, across in the UK, and in Belgium and the Netherlands. Three people from Thorncroft Road were among them.
Two people, a 24-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, were also arrested this morning, in Gosport, Hampshire.
Officers from Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, the Thames Valley and Surrey are involved in Operation Achilles.
