DSV was approached for comment but had not responded by the time of publication.
Posting on social media, Labour MP for Northampton South Mike Reader said: “Thugs broke into DSV Northampton, causing criminal damage and worrying the staff here who work hard every single day to make sure parcels and consignments are delivered around the world. There is no place for this type of action in Northampton. I'll be making sure the police use every avenue to bring these criminals to justice and make sure everyone here at DSV Northampton and at Brackmills is kept safe.”
