Activists broke into the centre yesterday morning
Police were called to MBR Acres in Wyton just before 6am on Tuesday to reports of a break-in and 'protesters at the front gates'. Protest group Animal Rebellion said in a statement that 12 of its supporters got inside the facility at 5.30am and took 18 beagles.
A Cambridgeshire Police spokesman said: "Three people were arrested on suspicion of burglary – a 29-year-old man from Sheffield, a 23-year-old man from York and a 33-year-old woman of no known address. Dogs were stolen from the site but there is no precise number at this time. Twelve people are in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station in Peterborough, police said, with a further two people at Stevenage Police Station – a 20-year-old man of no known address and a 19-year-old man from Islington, London.
A statement said: "Unfortunately, extremists, including long-time activists, are committing unlawful and dangerous activities each day against our business and staff. On top of this continuous harassment, today this has included breaking into the site and entering our buildings to steal our dogs for a second time this year.
