Woman released in blackmail probe
A WOMAN arrested over a series of blackmail offences linked to Darley Oaks Farm in Newchurch, Staffordshire, has been freed pending further inquiries.
Staffordshire Police said the 34-year-old had been released and ordered to answer police bail in the county on May 8 over a series of threatening letters and emails linked to animal rights extremism.
Darley Oaks Farm bred guinea pigs for research until January last year.
The suspect was arrested at a residential address in Dorchester, Dorset, along with a 39-year-old man at about 6.30am on Thursday.
The man was freed without charge.
