CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK

For Grievous A Fence

This Wednesday’s Smash EDO noise demo at the EDO/ITT factory in Brighton was a particularly noisy one and, as has gone on for years, protesters used EDO’s fence as a percussion instrument. But one young muso failed to strike gold as he dragged the plastic handle from a pan down the fence in too childish a manner, sending EDO boss Paul Hills into a rage.

Police quickly detained the youth, and got interested in allegedly incriminating specks of green paint on the handle. They then nicked the pan handler for criminal damage to a metal fence with a piece of plastic.
