12 April 2012

Police have charged five of the 55 people arrested in London during the royal wedding celebrations, after Scotland Yard hailed the day as an "amazing success".

A further three people have been bailed without charge and 37 released without charge in the biggest security operation in a generation.

Assistant Commissioner Lynne Owens said her 5,000 officers should be "immensely proud" of their role in the "happy and safe" event.

An unprecedented covert and overt operation at the royal wedding saw 55 arrests as one million well-wishers flooded central London's streets.

Anti-terror powers were used to arrest a man spotted taking suspicious photographs of transport hubs and security personnel in the Charing Cross area. Sources said the man was likely to be released without charge.

John Dobson, 32, of Chapel Street, Leigh, Lancashire, was charged with going equipped to cause criminal damage and bailed pending trial.

Terry Butts, 26, of Cobham Road, Leatherhead, Surrey, was charged with a racially aggravated offence and granted bail.

Piotr Domzala, 33, of Caledon Road, Aughnacloy, Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland, was charged with possession of an offensive weapon and granted bail.

Dean Hall, 31 of Thornhill Square, north London, was charged with a public order offence and granted bail.

Kieron Sinnot, 26, of Mount Pleasant Road, south London, was charged with common assault and granted bail.
