Fathers' rights group storms Big Brother compound
A group of fathers’ rights protesters were arrested today after entering the Celebrity Big Brother compound.
Hertfordshire Police said about 11 members of the Fathers For Justice group broke into the compound at the Elstree Film Studios, in Hertfordshire, England at about 3am.
Security guards at the studio contacted police to report a group of men trespassing inside the compound and throwing fireworks. At least one was wearing a now-familiar Superman outfit.
Insp Paul Lazell said three men had been arrested for breaching the peace.
About 12 officers and a police helicopter with heat-seeking equipment found the men, which Insp Lazell said was “a lot quicker than trying to round them up in the dark”.
He said police had been tipped off that the group was planning to target the house today.
Fathers For Justice founder Matt O’Connor said the group was planning another raid on the house using “a form of air transport” later today.
