Essex Police are continuing to investigate five mornings of disruptions on the M25 and M11 which led to 94 arrests.

The arrests were made following Insulate Britain protests on motorways between Monday, 13 September and Friday, 29 October.

Officers are continuing to work with the Crown Prosecution Service on the investigations.

Police are calling for residents who “missed anything significant” as a result, including medical appointments and planned work, to come forward.

This doesn’t include motorists who were simply caught in the congestion caused by the disruption.

The specific dates being investigated are September 13, September 17, September 30, October 13 and October 29.

Detective Sergeant Christopher Arnold, who is leading the Essex Police investigation, said: “We are aware these incidents have caused a significant amount of disruption to motorists and many people have been significantly inconvenienced by them.

“Our complex investigations are progressing and we would now like to hear from anyone who has not yet spoken to us but believes they have been inconvenienced by the disruption.

“I know a substantial number of people will have been simply delayed by the disruption but specifically I would like to hear from anyone who could not attend medical appointments, could not attend planned work and therefore missed out on payment, missed, or were severely delayed, attending any significant life events.

“Coming forward will help us progress our investigations and help ensure we can keep the county’s roads moving freely in future.”

Anyone who was significantly inconvenienced on any of the five dates should email operation.lilac@essex.police.uk.
