Chichester Raids

On 1st April, 2 addresses in Chichester were raided in an attempt to seize literature linked to radical publications. The raids however went horribly wrong for our police friends. The first address turned out to be no longer in the hands of anyone involved in eco-protest, having been traced from a 2-year old subscription to a PO Box, used until recently by Chichester EF! and hunt sabs. On arrival, the police found an innocent family sitting down to tea. After hurried apologies, the police went on to hit the new contact point at the University, where they proceeded to arrest 2 people allegedly involved in the production of the EcoCalendar 96 and Direct Action Direct. Two stacks of paperwork were also taken, most of which concerned the University Sports Council! After questioning both people were released, somewhat furious, without charge.
