A man and two women have been charged with criminal damage following a protest at the Prime Minister’s home near Northallerton.
On August 3 last year, Greenpeace activists got onto the roof of the grade II-listed mansion at Kirby Sigston.
Campaigners draped the property with oil-black fabric to protest against the Government’s plans to grant more than 100 new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.
Five people were arrested by officers from North Yorkshire Police following the protest, which took place while Mr Sunak and his family were on holiday in California.
North Yorkshire Police say the three people charged will appear at York Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, March 21.
A fourth suspect will answer bail at a later date.
Since the protest, Rishi Sunak has submitted plans to build a fence around his home to deter trespassers.
