A downtown Victoria bank was shut down after two people chained themselves to a railing to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Victoria police responded to the incident at a TD Bank in the 1000-block of Douglas Street at around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

One photo from the scene showed two people with bike locks around their necks locked to a metal rail, while two others, one of them a security guard, talk with the protesters.

“Two others left peacefully and one other protester was arrested without incident,” police said in a news release.

The bank was shut down as police dealt with the protesters locked inside. They were quickly arrested without incident, and police later said five people involved in the protest would face charges of mischief and unlawful assembly.

Other protesters outside of the bank waved 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.
