Police were called to remove pro Palestine protesters at the Leonardo factory at Crewe Toll.
By the time police officers arrived the protesters had rammed the van through the fence from the Morrisons car park and climbed onto the roof to try to cut through the razor wire.
Police officers wearing what looks like climbing gear can be seen in our photographs putting the protesters into a stretcher and lowering them to the ground.
The Sun reports that three women have been arrested after the protest.
Leonardo supplies defence technology, and protesters repeatedly call on the company to stop manufacturing devices which they say are being used in Gaza. The protesters also flew a Palestinian flag over the back of the van.
