More than 100 people were arrested today for allegedly planning a protest at a coal-fired power station in Britain.
Police officers who raided an independent school in Sneinton, Nottingham, said the protesters would have posed “a serious threat” to the safe running of Ratcliffe-On-Soar power station.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said “specialist equipment” recovered during the raid led them to believe the power station was the intended target.
He said: “Just after midnight tonight, Nottinghamshire Police arrested 114 men and women from across the UK on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated trespass and criminal damage.”
