OSWESTRY'S Extinction Rebellion group has confirmed one of their members was among the number of protesters arrested in London this week.
A woman was arrested on Tuesday afternoon at Waterloo Bridge where protests against climate change had been taking place.
A spokesman for the Oswestry Extinction Rebellion group said: "One of our group was arrested yesterday lunchtime from Waterloo Bridge and held at Bromley police station until around 9.30 yesterday evening.
"Lesley Sweet was released without charge but "pending further investigation".
"Today, after a well-earned rest, she's rejoined fellow protesters in support of folk who are on the front-line and continuing to hold the four sites.
"We, at Extinction Rebellion Oswestry are all very proud of her bravery and preparedness to give up her liberty for this crucial cause."
London Metropolitan Police said they were unable to confirm the arrest.
