NINE people have been arrested following disruption on the M25 at Thurrock this morning.
We were called to reports of people blocking the road at Junction 30 at 8.10am and officers were on scene within minutes.
They worked to resolve the situation quickly and safely and were able to swiftly re-open lane two to allow traffic to keep flowing.
Nine people have been arrested on suspicion of obstruction of a highway and are currently in custody.
All lanes have now re-opened.
We know this will have been frustrating for drivers caught in the traffic this caused and we want to thank you for your patience and understanding.
