: British police arrested four people Tuesday on suspicion of trespassing after they entered the grounds of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's property in northern England, police said in a statement.
The arrests come during a general election campaign where Sunak is battling to overcome the centre-left Labour Party's large lead in the polls. “We have arrested four people in the grounds of the Prime Minister’s constituency home this afternoon,“ North Yorkshire Police said in a statement.ALSO READ:The suspects, aged between 20 and 52 and from different parts of the country, were brought into police custody for questioning and investigations are ongoing, police said.
A video posted on X by the group Youth Demand shows a young man entering a property and defecating into what it says is a lake on Sunak's property. “We have so much to thank the Tories for,“ a statement from the group said, from the polluted rivers to “crumbling schools” and “destruction of the NHS.”Last summer, Greenpeace activists covered it in oil-black sheets to protest against the Conservative government's decision to grant new oil and gas licences.
