A GROUP of members of the JustStopOil campaign group mouted a protest outside Grays Police station this afternoon (Thursday, 1 September).

The people gathered outside the police station were all searched by police to ensure they had no materials which might have put them in breach of an injunction aimed at stopping protests at active fuel sites or other places in the borough.

They told Thurrock Nub News they were there because they believed the final occupants of a tunnel in West Thurrock, where a protest has been taking place for more than a week, might be extracted and arrested today.

It is likely they would be taken to Grays police station so the group, which did not contain anyone from Thurrock, gathered outside to show 'they are not alone'.

No word has yet come out about what might have happened today on the tunnel on St Clements Way.

'Tanker surfer' Shaun took his protest to Grays Police Station today.

One of those outside Grays Police starting was Shaun, 25, who earlier in the week was pictured 'tryck surfing' on and oil tanker protresters had stopped in West Thurrock.

He told Nub News, there are currently three people in a tunnel at St Clements Way. we are waiting for them to be brought to Grays Police Station. This is what we call 'police station support'."
