• Peter Cooper Meats of Chatham, Kent is the latest victim in a series of firebomb attacks on refrigerated meat trucks.
The windscreens of four vehicles were smashed and incendiary devices thrown into the cabs.
According to Kent Police the raid, at 22:30hrs last Thursday caused damage worth Z50,000, but no-one was hurt.
Police were alerted by a call from the fire brigade that they were attending a suspicious incident.
Nobody has yet claimed responsibility but the fringe animal rights group, the Animal Liberation Front is a likely candidate, having taken responsibility for an attack on six FMS meat trucks in Canterbury. This is at least the fourth attack on meat hauliers or producers in Kent in the past month, Police are advising any company involved in the meat packing and distribution sector to "look very carefully" at security arrangements.
