Nine Just Stop Oil activists have been arrested at Heathrow Airport but operations are continuing as usual, police have said.

They were detained near the airport and taken into custody on suspicion of conspiring to interfere with a site of key national infrastructure under the Public Order Act.

The Metropolitan Police said: “These arrests have prevented significant disruption to the airport and the travelling public.”

The group said “the international uprising begins” and that a number of people had been arrested “in two locations on the perimeter road around Heathrow”.
