A Just Stop Oil protester has been charged after allegedly being found in possession of numerous items that could be used to cause criminal damage.
Oliver Rock, 42, from Red Post Hill, was charged with having articles with intent to cause criminal damage (s3 Criminal Damage Act 1971) and being equipped to lock on (s2 Public Order Act 2023), on Thursday, July 20.
He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today (Friday, July 21).
It has been illegal to attach yourself to the floor to disrupt traffic since the Public Order Bill became law last May.
