Man arrested following protest

A man has been arrested following a protest at a restaurant in Stoke-on-Trent recently.

We were called to Snow Hill at about 6.55pm on Friday night (23 February) after a large group of people gathered outside the building as part of a protest.

We are actively carrying out enquiries to investigate any potential criminal offences that took place, particularly involving members of the group going inside the address.

Yesterday (24 February), a 26-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and using threatening/abusive words and or behaviour likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress.

He has since been released on conditional police bail while enquiries continue.

We are reviewing CCTV and speaking to individuals who were there at the time as part of our investigation. If you have any information or footage from the area when it happened, get in touch with us by calling 101 and quoting incident 629 of 23 February, or by messaging us on Live Chat.
