A climate change activist who was cleared of causing criminal damage after spray painting the headquarters of Cambridgeshire County Council in 2018 has now been convicted of the offence.
The Crown Prosecution Service went to the High Court on January 12 this year to successfully appeal the acquittal of Angela Ditchfield.
The case, which was originally heard at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court, was returned to Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Monday to have the record amended to a conviction and for sentencing.
