A group of G20 activists stopped in an armoured car near the Royal Bank of Scotland during the height of the April 1 protest have been charged with impersonating police.
The six-wheel Alvis Saracen, a model once used by the British Army in Northern Ireland, was emblazoned with the word 'Riot' and police-style black and white chequered livery.
The vehicle allegedly contained protesters wearing blue clothes and helmets when stopped in Bishopsgate.
The eleven - seven men and four women - were bailed to appear at City of London Magistrates Court on September 3 and 4 each charged with two offences under section 90 of the Police Act 1996 - impersonating a police officer and wearing an article of police uniform.
