A number of people arrested after a Shenstone protest have been barred from returning to the site.

Police held 18 men and one woman after the incident at UAV Engines yesterday (July 6).

All 19 – aged between 23 and 70 – have been bailed until later this month.

The condition of their bail is that they do not return to UAV sites.

The protests came as part of the national Block the Factory day of action.

Despite the arrests Chief Inspector Steve Smith said the disruption had been as minimal as possible.

He added: “Overall, the protest ended peacefully with no significant disorder.

“I want to thank everyone affected locally for their cooperation and support of the policing operation.”
