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.
