  • Six were arrested in the London Stock Exchange disruption case.
  • The Palestine Action Group allegedly planned an attack on Monday.

On suspicion of a conspiracy to disrupt the London Stock Exchange, six people have been placed under custody.

According to information provided to the Met Police, protestors from the Palestine Action organization planned to attack the exchange on Monday.

According to the force, it was thought that the individuals involved intended to inflict harm and “lock on” in an attempt to prevent the building from opening for business.

On Sunday, there were arrests in Brighton, Liverpool, and London.

As of right now, all six of them are in custody.

“Mindful of the suggestion that this was one part of a planned week of action,” the Met stated.

It stated that in order to ensure that any additional disruption could be handled, it was in contact with other agencies, such as the City of London Police.
