Police say a 28-year-old man climbed on top of the tanker and didn't come down for three hours. He was arrested on suspicion of tampering with a vehicle.

A 56-year-old man also climbed onto the tanker for a shorter period of time and was arrested on suspicion of obstructing the highway.

Meanwhile, a 27-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of obstructing the highway after she stood in front of a vehicle.

Officers say the protest blocked the main road through the village and a team with specialist equipment had to be brought in.

Supt Alisdair Dey says: We will support the right of people to assemble and protest peacefully, but once the balance tips from peaceful protest to deliberate, unlawful acts that cause unreasonable disruption to the local community, then we will take action."

A homeless man who now lives in Halifax who stole a purse and a phone from victims of the Manchester Arena attack has admitted theft.

Chris Parker, 33, was initially dubbed a hero after claiming he had comforted a seriously injured girl.

At Manchester Crown Court, he also admitted fraud after using a debit card from the purse.

His trial was due to start on Tuesday but was delayed after he failed to appear. He was found hiding in a loft in Yorkshire and arrested.

The judge said sentencing would be later this month and a custodial sentence is "most likely".
