The local police force has confirmed that the individuals were held in custody for questioning and subsequently released on police bail. An official statement from the police indicated that ongoing investigations are being conducted to establish the full extent of any illegal activities that may have occurred during the protest.
A spokesperson for the police stated, "We are thoroughly investigating all reported incidents from the protest and are committed to maintaining public order while respecting the right to peaceful demonstration. We urge witnesses and those with information to come forward to assist with our inquiries."
