Activists smashed windows and sprayed the insurance office with red paint

  • Published

Pro-Palestine activists have damaged property belonging to an insurance company for a second time.

The group - called Palestine Action - smashed windows and sprayed red paint at the Milton Keynes premises of the German insurance firm Allianz, claiming alleged links to an Israel-based defence company.

The building was previously targeted by the same group in October.

A spokesperson for Allianz said: "We respect everyone's right to have and express their opinion. However, we have zero tolerance for any criminal behaviour that threatens the safety or security of our people, property, and business."

They added: "Our business operations and service to customers and clients remain unaffected."

Palestine Action admitted to the damage and shared images on social media on Wednesday.

Thames Valley Police was approached for comment.
