Over a period of four days, they blocked several key transport links across the county, including the M25, resulting in 130 arrests.

To deal with the issue, police staff worked over 4000 hours in overtime and are continuing to collate evidence, including witness statements and CCTV footage, as part of their ongoing investigation.
