CABINETS were upturned, windows were smashed and machinery was destroyed by animal rights protesters at a company building in Stokes Poges.
About 50 members of the national campaign group SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) descended on the Bayer building in Stoke Court, Stoke Poges, at around 2pm on Sunday, wrecking office furniture in a bid to get the company to stop using Huntingdon Life Sciences to test products.
The Bayer building is believed to house a research laboratory and the company is thought to use Huntingdon Life Sciences for some of the testing, causing balaclava-clad SHAC representatives to gather at the offices.
The protesters then went on to target the Horlicks factory in Slough, Berkshire, where police made around 25 arrests.
Arrests were also made at sites in Frimley, Surrey, and Windlesham, on the Berkshire border, taking the number of arrests regionally to 87.
