VIDEO: Protesters cover Dundee offices with red paint

Several windows have also been smashed at Enterprise House on Greenmarket.

Protesters have damaged an office block in Dundee.

Red paint has been thrown over Enterprise House on Greenmarket and several windows have been smashed.

Messages saying, “£10m for weapons, stop funding genocide” have also been sprayed on two areas of the building.

Palestine Action has taken responsibility for the protest action and says it has “targeted five of Scottish Enterprise’s offices”.

Until 2021, it was occupied by Scottish Enterprise – which The Ferret previously revealed had funded arms firms that sold weapons to Israel – but it no longer has a presence in the building.

Protestors have also damaged the Scottish Enterprise office in Glenrothes.

A Scottish Enterprise spokesperson said: “Our immediate priority is to make our offices safe and secure for our colleagues and customers.

“We’ve reported these serious incidents to Police Scotland and, as previously stated, none of the projects we support involve the manufacture of munitions or weaponry.”

Several other buildings, including the Aviva offices in Perth, have been hit by similar protests from pro-Palestine groups in recent months.

One witness said at least 10 windows appeared to have been damaged with red paint thrown over the entrance to the building.

The witness said: “It’s some mess.

“There were reportedly two people on bikes involved.

“They used a hammer to smash the windows.

“Police are guarding the front of the building.”

A Social Security Scotland spokesperson said: “Our Enterprise House office in Dundee was vandalised in the early hours of this morning.

“To ensure the safety and security of our colleagues, we have asked those who are able to work from home or another building to do so.

“Police Scotland are on site and we are co-operating with their investigation of the incident.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 6.20am on Monday we received a report of vandalism to a premises on Greenmarket, Dundee.

“Inquiries are ongoing.”
