Bailiffs remove HS2 tunnel ringleader from illegal crawlspace under Euston after entering underground chamber to take out all his belongings and food
Dr Larch Maxey announced he was leaving tunnel this morning and was seen in another video above ground
The lecturer said: I have been evicted - I ve met my match, they ve come for me and rinsed me completely
His exit this morning leaves just two of the original protesters remaining underground, Swampy and Blue
The son of a island-owning millionaire Scottish laird turned anti-HS2 eco-warrior has locked himself inside a tunnel below Euston Square Gardens as bailiffs dig their own shaft as part of efforts to remove at least six activists who have spent eight days underground.
The demonstrator, known as Lazer , attached himself to the bottom of a tunnel using a device made of steel and concrete around his arm.
The HS2 Rebellion group estimated today it would take several hours before the device around his arm could be removed. A second one is attached round his ankle.
Lazer is believed to be called Lachlan Blaze Sandford, 20. He is pictured in images alongside his Laird father Roc Sandford, who refers to him as his kids in a video of their actions at a precious Extinction Rebellion protest.
The mother of a teenage HS2 protester is worried for his safety after he joined his father, the veteran activist Swampy, in tunnels near Euston station.Swampy, whose real name is Daniel Hooper, 47
His father is being reckless and irresponsible.
A rescue expert had warned that heavy rain and sleet could cause tunnels beneath Euston in London to collapse and endanger HS2 activists living in the underground passages.
Swampy has spoken about his son joining the protest, adding: To begin with, I didn t want Rory to be in the tunnel for the eviction, but he was absolutely adamant that he would stay down there with me for it.
The protesters are campaigning against the £98billion HS2 railway line and its huge cost
