Five people, including a Norfolk teenager, have been charged with aggravated trespass after Just Stop Oil protesters disrupted a performance of Les Miserables in London's West End.

The performance at the Sondheim Theatre was brought to a halt at around 9pm on Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police said.

18 year old Noah Crane, of Aylsham Road in Buxton, is among them charged.

Hannah Taylor, 23, Lydia Gribbin, 28, Hanan Ameur, 22 and Poppy Bliss, 19, are also set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on November 3.

The group have been released on bail.

Police said they are keen to hear from audience members who may have travelled from outside London to see the show.
