Three climate change protestors have been arrested after a demonstration outside RNAD Coulport in Helensburgh this morning.
Around 20 activists arrived outside the nuclear storage facility at 6.45am before the police were called a short while later.
At one point during the protest, five women are said to have poured fake blood on themselves and staged a die-in right in front of the gates blocking one side of the entrance into the base.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers engaged with a group of individuals carrying out a protest in the Coulport area of Helensburgh which began around 7.30am on Monday, 13 June, 2022.
“Three people have been arrested in connection.
