Police have arrested a woman after cordoning off Camp Beagle, a protest camp outside MBR Acres puppy breeding facility in Cambridgeshire.

Police cordoned off Camp Beagle, an animal rights protest camp that has operated outside MBR Acres breeding facility in Wyton, Huntingdon, since summer 2021, on 6 October. The group has been demanding the facility's closure.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary said the action was part of investigations into an alleged burglary at the facility. Police were called on 29 September after reports that a number of dogs were allegedly taken from the site, an incident believed to be linked to an 'open rescue'. A 43-year-old woman from Inverness was arrested on suspicion of burglary. A 63-year-old man from Coventry was later arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to burgle and has been bailed until 4 January 2027.

On 12 October, police confirmed that a 51-year-old woman from St Leonards-on-Sea had been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to burgle. MBR Acres stated that its lawful role is to breed and supply healthy dogs for regulated scientific research.
