- PC Peter Adams told the jury he saw two blows to Evans’ back, while PC Aaron Buxton said a blond male swung a sledgehammer that struck his calf and radio.
- Prosecutors say the group used a prison van to access the factory while wearing red jumpsuits and carrying sledgehammers, pyrotechnics, and other tools, and all six were arrested at the scene.
