A MAN and a woman have been arrested in England following an investigation into the damage caused at US President Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf course.
On March 8, activists targeted Trump’s golf course in South Ayrshire in a protest over the US president’s position on Gaza, which he said he plans to “take over” and “own it”, in what is a clear example of ethnic cleansing.
Police confirmed that a 55-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man were arrested on Friday in connection with damage caused to the Turnberry golf course.
The woman was arrested in Leeds and the man was arrested in Wakefield, police said, adding enquiries into the incident remain ongoing.
During the protest last month, activists dug up the course greens and spray painted the words “Gaza is not for sale” across the grass.
Activists with Palestine Action said they targeted Trump’s golf course over the US administration’s plan “to ethnically cleanse Gaza”.
Police Scotland previously said a 33-year-old man has been charged in connection with the incident.
Meanwhile, a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman were previously arrested as part of the investigation and have since been released pending further enquiries.
