Five Just Stop Oil activists have been charged in connection with attempted Manchester Airport disruption

We have charged five people with intentionally or recklessly causing public nuisance after alleged Just Stop Oil activists were detained yesterday. They have been remanded into custody to appear at Manchester Magistrates Court today (Tuesday 6 August).

• Daniel Knorr (21/02/2002), Leanorah Ward (30/12/2002) and Noah Crane (26/02/2005), all of Second Avenue, Birmingham.
• Indigo Rumbelow (22/04/1994) of Anthill Road, Haringey.
• Margaret Reid (14/01/1971) Low Fellside, Kendal

Head of Specialist Operations, Chief Superintendent Mark Dexter said: “We are working closely with Manchester Airports Group, partners, and police colleagues from across the UK in an attempt to prevent disruptive activity and ensure it does not affect us here in Manchester.

“We maintain a constant presence at the airport, and you will see our officers across the site if you're travelling here during the summer months.

“Our aim is to keep the airport running so that you can enjoy your well-earned holidays, so I ask that anyone who is travelling remains vigilant. If you see something that seems suspicious, report it to us so we can act.”
