Pictures: 15 farm invaders arrested

CLOSE to 15 farm invaders were yesterday arrested at Mashonaland East Tobacco Graders in Bromley when the dreaded Police Support Unit members popularly known as “Black Boots” swooped on the property which has been at the centre of an ownership wrangle.

Sources say the evicted farm workers initially put up a spirited fight, but were no match for the Police Support Unit which had beefed up its numbers.

More arrests were expected soon as investigations into the skirmishes which saw several people injured intensified.
