A 21-YEAR-OLD woman has been arrested in connection with damage to US president Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf course.
Police were called to the course on Maidens Road, Turnberry, South Ayrshire, at around 4.40am on March 8.
Activists targeted Trump’s golf course in 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.
Red paint had been sprayed on the clubhouse at the 800-acre resort and damage was also caused to the greens.
The woman was arrested in Liverpool on Thursday, with police saying their inquiries are ongoing.
It brings the total number of arrests following the incident to six.
Kieran Robson, 33, was arrested on March 12 and appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court on March 31 charged with malicious mischief in connection with damage at the resort.
Robson, of Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, made no plea during the brief hearing and was committed for further examination and released on bail pending a further court appearance.
Ricky Southall, 33, of Wakefield in West Yorkshire and 55-year-old Umza Bashir, from Leeds, were both arrested on April 4, and were charged with malicious mischief when they appeared in private at Ayr Sheriff Court on April 7.
They made no plea and were committed for further examination and released on bail ahead of a further court appearance.
Meanwhile, a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman previously arrested as part of the investigation have since been released pending further inquiries.
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”.
