Four people have been arrested after a protest on the balcony of a Russian oligarch’s London mansion.
The Metropolitan Police said a group had come down after about 17 hours before being arrested on suspicion of squatting in a residential building.
People gained access to the property in Belgrave Square, west London – which belongs to Oleg Deripaska – about 1am on Monday.
“The four have been arrested under section 144 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012," the Metropolitan Police said. "A police presence will continue at the scene.
“Police were called shortly after 1am on Monday, March 14, to a residential property in Belgrave Square.
"It was reported that a number of people had gained entry to the building and hung banners from upstairs windows.
“Officers completed a search of the property and are satisfied there are no people left inside. Four others have been arrested on suspicion of trespassing after trying to breach the cordon.
“During the evening of March 14, four people were arrested after they attempted to gain access to the row of buildings where the protest was ongoing in Belgrave Square.
"They have been arrested under Section 9 of the Criminal Law Act 1977. All those arrested remain in custody.”
The street has been cordoned off with at least 10 police vehicles and more than 30 officers responding to the incident.
Officers wearing harnesses first tried to use a ladder to gain access to the balcony, but after the squatters sat in the way to obstruct them, a crane was moved in.
Police wearing riot gear used a drill to break open the front door and enter the house.
Hanging from the building were a Ukrainian flag and a sign that read, “This property has been liberated”.
Mr Deripaska has been described as “a prominent Russian businessman and pro-Kremlin oligarch” who is “closely associated” with the Russian government and President Vladimir Putin.
His wealth is estimated to be £2.3 billion ($2.99bn) and he has a multimillion-pound property portfolio in the UK, which includes the house at 5 Belgrave Square, according to a 2007 High Court judgment.
Records indicate it has not changed hands since and is owned by a company in the British Virgin Islands.

How the bonus system works
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.
The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.
There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.

Healthy tips to remember
Here, Dr Mohamed El Abiary, paediatric consultant at Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, shares some advice for parents whose children are fasting during the holy month of Ramadan:
Gradual fasting and golden points - For children under the age of 10, follow a step-by-step approach to fasting and don't push them beyond their limits. Start with a few hours fasting a day and increase it to a half fast and full fast when the child is ready. Every individual's ability varies as per the age and personal readiness. You could introduce a points system that awards the child and offers them encouragement when they make progress with the amount of hours they fast
Why fast? - Explain to your child why they are fasting. By shedding light on the importance of abstaining from food and drink, children may feel more encouraged to give it there all during the observance period. It is also a good opportunity to teach children about controlling urges, doing good for others and instilling healthy food habits
Sleep and suhoor - A child needs adequate sleep every night - at least eight hours. Make sure to set a routine early bedtime so he/she has sufficient time to wake up for suhoor, which is an essential meal at the beginning of the day
Good diet - Nutritious food is crucial to ensuring a healthy Ramadan for children. They must refrain from eating too much junk food as well as canned goods and snacks and drinks high in sugar. Foods that are rich in nutrients, vitamins and proteins, like fruits, fresh meats and vegetables, make for a good balanced diet
