Police say a woman from Burntwood was among four arrests after a protest at a factory in Shenstone.

A group of activists [targeted the UAV Engines Ltd site on Lynn Lane earlier today](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/shenstone-company-criticises-misinformation-behind-protests-as-campaigners-target-factory/) (27th February).

Staffordshire Police confirmed four people had been arrested on suspicion of using violence and intimidation to compel activity or abstention from lawful activity.

They include a 27-year-old woman from Burntwood, a 33-year-old man from Uttoxeter, a 23-year-old woman from Smethwick and a 20-year-old woman of no fixed address.

A spokesperson for the force said:

> “Officers were deployed proactively to ensure the safety of employees, members of the community and protestors at the site.  
>  
> “We worked to balance the rights to peaceful protest against the rights of those affected by it.”  
>  
> Staffordshire Police spokesperson

The four arrested remain in police custody this afternoon.
