Seventeen people were arrested following a protest against Black Friday by Extinction Rebellion yesterday at the Amazon depot in Tilbury.

They were detained on suspicion of aggravated trespass after Essex Police say they found a number of people blockading the road - locked to objects and protesting from a height.

Officers say it didn't cause any widespread disruption.
