Video: Green MP Caroline Lucas arrested over Balcombe fracking protest Green Party MP for Brighton Pavillion, Caroline Lucas has been arrested after staging a protest outside the gates of energy firm Cuadrilla's drilling site in Balcombe, West Sussex, as hundreds demonstrated against fracking. Her arrest was announced by protesters over a megaphone. Having previously read out section 14 of the public order act 1986 police from forces around the country began removing protesters from the entrance. Protesters were warned to move before the police began remove them from the entrance. The arrests came as protesters opposing the controversial process for extracting shale gas blockaded the headquarters of Cuadrilla while others superglued themselves to a PR company used by the energy firm. The action at Cuadrilla in Lichfield, Staffordshire, at PR firm Bell Pottinger in central London, and Balcombe, comes on the first of two days of "mass civil disobedience" which campaigners have pledged to carry out to highlight their stance against fracking. The total number of arrests made is unclear.
