Police launch investigation after trespassers enter Harrogate Spring Water
Police have launched an investigation after trespassers broke into Harrogate Spring Water's headquarters last night.
A source told the Stray Ferret protesters attempted to enter the building on Harlow Moor Road and "antagonised staff". They added those responsible wore GoPro cameras and flew a drone over the site.
However, nobody appears to have claimed responsibility for the incident and no footage has emerged.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said today:

A spokesperson for Harrogate Spring Water said:
Harrogate Spring Water said in March it was "reviewing plans" to expand its bottling plant at its headquarters off Harlow Moor Road, in the Pinewoods.
The plans, which would involve felling trees in a public woodland planted by schoolchildren, have proved controversial.
It is not known whether yesterday's incident was related to this.
