Twenty Arrested Following Motorway Service Station Protests

Twenty arrests were made following protests on Wednesday at Clacket Lane and Cobham service stations. 

Police attended the scene on Wednesday morning following reports of protestors damaging petrol pumps at both sites.  Some of the groups had glued themselves to the forecourts.  Fuel was unavailable at both sites for several hours and some pumps at Cobham are still unusable due to the damage caused.

Superintendent Graham Barnett said the damage caused at the petrol stations is completely unacceptable and does not constitute a lawful protest.
