BGUK_3553785 - Two men arrested at fur protest in Bond Street Two men have been arrested at a fur protest on Bond Street. The demonstration began as a small, relatively peaceful group outside Hermes, where protesters adhered to the law by not blocking the entrance or using a tannoy. However, larger numbers gathered as the group moved on to protest outside Louis Vuitton. At this point, protesters began using tannoys and playing a loud wailing noise that resembled a continuous police siren, repeatedly blaring. Shoppers would likely have found it difficult to enter the store, actions which were deemed illegal and in breach of regulations terms police were overheard using. Police appeared ready to intervene when one protester suggested the group should leave before anyone was arrested. The group then moved on to protest outside Dior, where officers took action. Between Dior and Loro Piana, two arrests were made. One man was handcuffed, while another was restrained on the ground by several officers before being carried horizontally to a police van. On the video two of the protesters, a man and a woman, seemingly mention the names of the two protesters who were arrested which sounded like John and Peter with the man adding what sounded like“It happens to John every time” and the woman looks shocked when she seemingly replied that they have arrested Peter aswell.
