“Our dedicated officers will continue to work across the weekend to keep Essex moving, keep people safe and minimise disruption to the public.
“We also continue to work closely with our colleagues at the Crown Prosecution Service to secure charges where possible.
“As demonstrated this week, if you come to Essex and engage in disruptive and dangerous protest, we will arrest you.”
