Four men and two women each face counts of burglary and criminal damage. Cops were on scene at the Meridian Way Spot in Bronstone for several hours straight. The investigations run by counterterrorism policing East Midlands, backed up by Lester Shire Police. That combo shows how serious they see this turning, from protest to property crimes. These folks hail from spots across the UK, like Norwich, Reading, West Sussex, Kent and London. Ages range from 25 to 41, pulling in a mix from different corners. They're all due in Westminster Magistrates Court, come Monday to face the music. With counterterror leads on it, expect more details as this unfolds and heads to trial.
