Police have charged four people following the end of a pro-Palestinian rooftop protest in Shipley.
Officers were called to the Teledyne premises on the Acorn Park industrial estate, near Bradford, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The company specialises in supplying electronics systems to the aerospace and defence sectors.
Images shared on social media showed protesters bearing Palestinian flags, with protest group Palestine Action later confirming its involvement.
The protesters, three women, aged 38, 32 and 56, and a man, aged 32, have been charged with burglary with intent to commit criminal damage, criminal damage to property and having an article with intent to destroy or damage property.
The 56-year-old has also been charged with two counts of racially aggravated public order offences and one non-racially aggravated public order offence relating to separate incidents in Leeds on 13 April and 3 May.
All four will appear before Bradford Magistrates' Court on Friday.
