WATCH the moment pro-Palestine vandals stormed two office buildings in the dead of night, smashing tech, windows and furniture with a hammer.
Shocking footage shows a group of masked men destroying the inside of Securitas and Leonardo UK’s Scotland offices, spray painting on the walls “drop Leonardo now”.
The unknown group wearing balaclavas stormed the offices of the security company and the aerospace firm in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The footage posted on X, formerly Twitter, suggested that the offices targeted because of their involvement with the Israeli armed forces.
A Leonardo UK spokesman told BBC Scotland: “Leonardo UK is subject to UK government export controls and does not supply equipment direct to Israel.
“Our main customer is the UK Armed Forces and we are proud to manufacture technology that supports our service personnel and helps to keep them safe.”
Police officers were contacted around 01:50 on Sunday about red paint being sprayed onto Leonardo UK’s offices.
Officers were then alerted at 03:00 to another report of vandalism at Securitas’ office, where windows were being smashed.
Police Scotland have launched an investigation into both incidents of vandalism.
Inquiries are still ongoing to identify those responsible.
A spokesperson for Securitas UK said: “On Sunday, Securitas UK responded to an incident of vandalism at our regional office in Edinburgh.
“Whilst we cannot share further details due to the ongoing investigation, the safety of our people, as well as the protection of our property and assets, remains our highest priority.”
The 1 minutes and 34 second video shows multiple rooms destroyed by the vandals, using a hammer to destroy as much of the office equipment as possible.
One of the activists pulls out a spray gun, covering the walls in lines of black paint.
