TD Bank on the 1000 block of Douglas Street was shut down Wednesday afternoon after protesters used bike locks to chain themselves to a railing inside the bank.
VicPD tell CFAX 1070 that two protesters chained themselves to a railing; two others left peacefully and one protester was arrested without incident.
Protesters outside were carrying signs saying “TD Stop funding DAPL,” otherwise known as the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline project.
TD Securities has been named as a creditor helping bankroll the construction of the pipeline.
First Nations and supporters protested the construction of the pipeline through the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, with the army announcing it would refuse to grant a permit for the project on Sunday.
