Police have made three arrests as part of an investigation into a bonfire built at the bottom of Lecky Flyover in Londonderry earlier this summer.
The bonfire was built on Saturday, August 15, at Lecky Road, obstructing the road and causing significant disruption to traffic in the area.
Items placed on the bonfire included flags, banners, political material, sashes and football shirts.
As part of the ongoing investigation, a 23-year-old man has been charged with criminal damage, causing material to be deposited on or over a road, and obstruction of a road.
He is due to appear before Londonderry Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, November 4. The charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service, as is usual procedure.
Meanwhile, two young males arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and other related offences have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Police said their evidence-gathering operation remained ongoing and that they would continue to investigate all offences connected to the incident.
