Chichester man among four arrested at Rishi Sunak's home
They were detained in North Yorkshire on Tuesday afternoon (June 25th)
Four people, including a 20-year-old man from Chichester have been arrested in the ground of the Prime Minister's constituency home in North Yorkshire.
It happened around 12.40pm on Tuesday afternoon (June 25th).
North Yorkshire Police said their officers were with the four men within one minute of them entering the grounds of Rishi Sunak's home in Kirby Sigston.
The men were escorted off the property and detained on suspicion of aggravate trespass.
The men - aged 52 from London, 43 from Bolton, 21 from Manchester, and 20 from Chichester - remain in police custody for questioning and enquiries are ongoing.
A video has been released by protest group Youth Demand showing a young man entering the Prime Minister's property and appearing to defecate in a lake.
The group said the action was a "parting gift" for the Prime Minister and the Conservative Government.
In a press release, the group identified the man in the video as Oliver, 21, a student from Manchester, and included a statement from him.
"We have so much to thank the Tories for: from crumbling schools, shit in the rivers and a collapsing NHS; to creating a nation with more food banks than McDonalds and 4.3 million UK children living in poverty," he said.
"From allowing their mates to get filthy rich from selling weapons to battle-test on toddlers in Gaza, or by drilling for more oil as the world burns - it's quite a legacy!"
Youth Demand describes itself as a campaign calling for an arms embargo on Israel, as well as for the Government to revoke all new oil and gas licences granted since 2021.
Earlier this year the Prime Minister condemned the group after it staged a demonstration outside the home of Labour leader Keir Starmer.
The demonstrators hung a banner outside Sir Keir's house that read: "Starmer stop the killing" surrounded by red hand prints.
It is not the first time the Prime Minister's home has been targeted by protesters.
In August last year four Greenpeace protesters were arrested and charged with criminal damage after allegedly climbing on to the roof of Mr Sunak's home in Kirby Sigston.
His west London home was subject to a demonstration by Just Stop Oil in November last year.
