Police Scotland stated a “number of arrests” had been made following an incident involving protesters concreting themselves to a road outside an oil terminal this morning.

Six individuals – members of the This is Rigged environmental protest group – had been “stuck” on Powdrake Road in Grangemouth outside the Ineos oil terminal, with four concreted to the surface and two more gluing themselves to the concreted members in an effort to delay their removal from the site by police for as long as possible.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We are aware of protesters at the Ineos site in Grangemouth."A number of arrests have been made and officers remain in attendance."

The road has now been cleared of protesters.

were arrested by police around 12 hours after beginning their climb.
