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”.
