Three people have been arrested in a protest against oil outside the petroleum and gas industry conference at the TSB Arena in Wellington. 

Police released a statement today saying two men, 19 and 22, were charged with assaulting police.

Inspector Brett Amas said a 20-year-old woman was arrested for obstructing a public place and given warning. 

Protesters were outside the 2018 New Zealand Petroleum Conference, which opened yesterday, bringing together 500 delegates from across the oil and gas industry.
