A JUST Eat courier scaled a 100ft crane and spent two nights atop it for Extinction Rebellion, a court heard.

Eco warrior Alex Sidney, 18, unfurled the group’s flag during his protest.

Sidney had first climbed a fence to a building site to access the crane.

He then cut a chain to access the towering machine in Norwich before staying up it for two nights in November.

Sidney, who also works as a cycle courier for Deliveroo and Uber Eats, admitted criminal damage at the city’s magistrates’ court.

District Judge Shanta Deonarine handed him an 18-month conditional discharge, telling him: “You stay out of trouble and go back to being a person of good character.”

Sidney, of Dereham, Norfolk, was also ordered to pay £45 compensation for the cut chain and £100 costs. He was not allowed to read a statement explaining his actions.
