Vandals have targeted the reception of a building in a business park by daubing it in red paint.

This picture was taken inside Discovery Park House in Discovery Park, Sandwich this morning before the dye-like substance was cleaned off.

The building is on the main Ramsgate Road, while other parts of the park are within a secure compound.

KentOnline has contacted the management of Discovery Park today and is yet to hear back about when the attack took place and why.

The park, formerly occupied by pharmeceutical giant Pfizer, is an enterprise zone, made up of a mix of businesses - some are fledgling and using the park as an incubation hub, others are established.

The site has previously been the subject of eight anti-weapons protests towards park occupant Instro Precision, a manufacturing company.

The firm, based in another building in the park - Sentinel House in Artillery Way - makes engineering electro-optical sensor equipment for military and commercial companies.

It has been accused of supplying Israel with equipment used in weapons that kill Palestinian people.

The company has never responded to these claims, it and has been contacted by KentOnline today.

A spokesman for police said: "Kent Police was called at 5.58am on Friday to a report of criminal damage to a building at the Discovery Park Enterprise Zone in Sandwich.

"Walls are reported to have been sprayed with paint and inquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing."
