Activists who chained themselves to the inside of a bank are believed to have stepped down protests after a few hours.
Extinction Rebellion members targeted Barclays bank on Northumberland Street on Monday morning as part of a coordinated effort which saw the activism group target 200 branches nationwide over claims it is continuing to invest huge sums in fossil fuels.
It was reported that six Extinction Rebellion members entered the city centre branch at around 9.45am holding placards, with protestors saying they will go to any lengths they can to get their message heard.
