Owner to complain after third raid on animal sanctuary
12:25, 14 July 2008
An animal sanctuary owner is making an official complaint against Kent Police after officers raided her home for the third time in just over a year.
In the latest swoop, about 40 officers spent four hours searching and then removing computers and documents from the Friend Farmed Animal Rescue Centre in East Peckham, run by Marion Eaton and her husband Mark.
The joint operation by Kent and Lincolnshire Police on Thursday followed a burglary at a farm near Lincoln in January when 129 white New Zealand rabbits were stolen.
Mrs Eaton said: "I will make an official complaint to the police because I haven’t kept rabbits for years.
"I can’t really understand why they raided me for the third time in 12 months. We have farmed animals here such as cows, sheep and pigs."
