WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Police have arrested actress Lucy Lawless and five Greenpeace environmental activists after the group spent four days protesting aboard an oil-drilling ship docked in New Zealand.

Police removed the group today from their perch atop a 174-foot drilling tower on the Noble Discoverer in Port Taranaki. Lawless, 43, a native New Zealander, and six activists climbed the tower early Friday in an attempt to raise awareness about oil drilling in the Arctic.
