Further charge over Stonehenge powder protest

Stonehenge was targeted during a Just Stop Oil protest in June

A third person has been charged in connection with an incident in which Stonehenge was sprayed with orange powder during a Just Stop Oil protest.

Luke Watson, 35, of Manuden, Bishop's Stortford, Essex, has been charged with one count of destroying or damaging an ancient monument and one count of causing a public nuisance.

The incident happened when activists from the group held a protest at the site on 19 June.

Mr Watson is due to appear at Salisbury Magistrates' Court on 13 December, police said.

Following the protest, English Heritage said experts had quickly removed the orange powder from the stones.
