We don't have all the info yet; A friend has gone to see if he can help people get their gear safely away.
We have reports of destruction of property by the police who are slashing tents and bagging camps in the Redway/Garberville area.
Also reports that people are being told they can't go back to their sleeping places or they will be arrested.
Hamilton seems to be the deputy in charge at the moment. McCall is the other one according to my informants.
