Thirteen people were arrested over an attempt to disrupt the English Greyhound Derby, police say.
BBC News, Northamptonshire
Northamptonshire Police said a "peaceful protest" before the Towcester Racecourse event "passed off without incident", but activists later made a failed attempt to disrupt the race. A force representative said the first three arrests were on suspicion of aggravated trespass after activists broke "into the race circuit shortly after midday" and climbed on to scaffolding around a big screen.
They said a "peaceful protest, facilitated by police, passed off without incident" ahead of the start of the racing, but a "small number of protesters attempted to make their way on to the track ahead of the final, main race".
