Three men and two women who were arrested following a Greenpeace protest at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s home in North Yorkshire have been released on bail.

North Yorkshire Police arrested the group on Thursday, after protesters climbed on the grade II-listed manor house in Kirby Sigston and draped oil-black fabric over the property while Mr Sunak and his family are on holiday.

A statement from North Yorkshire Police said: “All five suspects who were arrested following the protest in Kirby Sigston on August 3, have been released on conditional police bail to allow for further inquiries to be carried out. The investigation remains ongoing.”
