Arrested Surrey Union ‘hunt monitors’ now charged

Two people arrested on public order offences while “monitoring” the Surrey Union Hunt have been charged.

The pair were arrested at around 1pm on 28 February, when a number of protestors — from a group of around 17 following the hunt which met at Leigh, Surrey — donned facemasks and scarves.

Tiff Clelland, 34, of Albert Road, Brighton, has been charged with aggravated trespass, and David Marriott, 18, of no fixed abode, has been charged with public order offences.

Both have been released on bail to appear at South East Surrey Magistrates Court on Friday 17 April.
