Further arrests made at Oil protests in Warwickshire
The Just Stop Oil group are demonstrating there and at oil terminals across the country
A further 29 arrests have been made this weekend in connection with protests at Kingsbury Oil Terminal in Warwickshire.
The Just Stop Oil group have been demonstrating at the facility since the beginning of the month.
Those taken into custody this weekend were arrested for offences including criminal damage.
It takes the total number of arrests to 180 since protest activity began on 1 April.
Activists from the group have been blocking access to oil terminals for ten days, demanding the Government stops new oil and gas projects.
They disrupted supplies from three oil terminals in Warwickshire, Hertfordshire and Essex on Sunday.
Assistant Chief Constable at Warwickshire Police Ben Smith said:
“It has been another busy weekend for the force as protestors continue to target the Kingsbury site. As a result of unlawful protest activity another 29 people have been arrested and taken into custody.
“This weekend’s protest activity has been contained to the Piccadilly Way area and has caused little disruption to the wider community, or to the operations of the oil terminal.
“While we will always recognise and respect the public’s right to peaceful protest, we will take action against anyone who breaks the law or causes significant impact on the local community."
