University of California police released a composite drawing of a man they said may have been among a band of animal rights activists who broke into research laboratories at UC Riverside over the weekend and released about 260 animals. Based on additional evidence, Police Chief William Howe said, investigators believe six to eight people were involved in stealing the animals and causing extensive damage to laboratory equipment. The man being sought was described as white, in his mid-20s, with close-cropped dark hair and beard, about 6 feet tall and of average weight.
