Palestine Action members allegedly planned to lock on to building and prevent trading, Metropolitan police say
Six people have been arrested for allegedly plotting to prevent the London Stock Exchange from opening, the Metropolitan police has said.
The police received information that activists with the Palestine Action group were allegedly planning to stop the LSE from opening for trading on Monday by “locking on” to the building, and causing damage.
Met officers, alongside officers with the Merseyside police, arrested a 31-year-old man in Liverpool on suspicion of conspiracy to cause criminal damage on Sunday morning.
