British police claimed they had arrested seven persons on Sunday for their alleged involvement in a national-level conspiracy plan initiated by the activist community to tax the wealthy elites and then loot and damage high-end shopping establishments.

These seven individuals, comprising one male and six females, were apprehended in the city of Salford in northwestern England for their suspected role in a conspiracy to steal, reported Greater Manchester Police.

The police said that the alleged criminals were involved in preparing for non-confrontational actions as part of a mass looting operation in order to steal goods from retail shops and supermarket outlets in order to redistribute them.

“We are taking robust action to disrupt this type of organized crime, and it will not be tolerated,” Assistant Chief Constable Steph Parker stated in her address.

"The police are arresting people at generic training sessions that only explain the history and principles of remaining non-violent," said a spokesperson in his statement.

The London Metropolitan Police, in its latest arrest operations in March, had arrested fifteen individuals belonging to the Take Back Power movement for their alleged participation in mass looting activities.

Nine of those individuals were accused of staging an illegal stunt at the Ritz Hotel in Central London last December, when manure was poured on the floor, and after another incident that month at the Tower of London.
