Four arrests after pro-Palestine protest at Teledyne

Police were called to Teledyne, at the Acorn Park Industrial Estate in Shipley, at around 5am on Tuesday. 

Four protestors from Palestine Action had scaled the roof of a building at the premises.

A group of people gathered outside the area and were waving flags and placards, as well as unfurling banners and chanting in support of Palestine.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said this morning that four people were "safely brought down from the roof" at 9.38pm and then arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage.

The force added that criminal offending at protests "is not tolerated".

The protest provoked a huge response from emergency services, with a cordon put in place near the entrance of the premises.

There were at least six police vehicles at the scene, as well as two West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service (WYFRS) engines and Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) were also there.

A large number of emergency services personnel were seen either guarding the cordon or doing work within the scene.

Members of the emergency services were spotted using a WYFRS aerial unit later in the day.
