SIX people were arrested during a protest at a factory in Glasgow's Southside.
Climate activists "gained access to the roof" of the Thales UK building in Govan at 6.35am yesterday morning.
It's not known what time they were removed.
Police Scotland has revealed two men, aged 24 and 21, three women, aged 23, 21, and 20, and a 16-year-old male were arrested and charged.
They have since been released on an undertaking to appear at court at a later date and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland, Divisional Commander for Greater Glasgow, said: “Police Scotland is a rights-based organisation and our policing role has been to ensure public safety and to balance the rights of protestors with those of Thales UK, their staff and the wider public.
“There are obvious safety concerns when dealing with protestors at height and a proportionate police response has brought this incident to a safe conclusion.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
