Two pensioners have been arrested as part of an investigation into vandalism of Donald Trump’s Turnberry hotel.

Palestine protestors targeted the site earlier this month with the golf course and hotel both being damaged.

The group entered Trump Turnberry and painted ‘Gaza is not for sale’ in three-metre-high letters on the course.

Palestine Action say they did it in response to the US President’s plans and threats about the Palestinian Gaza strip.
