Police have issued an update after animal rights activists were arrested in a huge protest at Aintree racecourse on Saturday (April 15).
A large number of protesters attempted to gain entry to the Aintree Racecourse track, which delayed the start of the flagship Grand National. Scores of protesters climbed over fences and stormed the M57, with at least two also fixing themselves to a jump at the racecourse using glue and lock-on devices.
Merseyside Police confirmed that they arrested a total of 118 people, aged between 18 and 66-years-old, who had travelled from as far as Kent, London, Swansea, Glasgow, Falkirk and Southampton.
