Brackley man arrested following COVID testing centre protests
06/01/2022
58-year-old has since been released under investigation
A Brackley man has been arrested in connection with the protest that took place at a COVID testing centre in Milton Keynes last Wednesday (December 29). At the time signs were damaged, equipment was dismantled and a number of public order incidents took place.
A video shared on social media showed several dozen anti-vaccine protesters in the test-and-trace centre holding signs encouraging people not to get vaccinated.
The 58-year-old was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker. He has since been released under investigation.
Chief Inspector Graham Hadley, of Thames Valley Police, said: “Our investigation into the protest last week continues and as a result we have made an arrest.
“Officers are continuing to take statements and review footage that has been obtained of the protest.
“If anyone believes they have information that could assist our investigation and has not reported it to us, please do so by calling 101 or making a report online, quoting reference 43210583457.”
