Police have laid their first charges over this year's M1 anti-globalisation 
protests against a 46-year-old man from Kyneton.

Matthew Taylor has been charged with criminal damage to a city McDonalds' 
restaurant in Swanston Street on May 1.

He has been bailed and will appear in Kyneton Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A police spokesman said the charge was the first in connection with the M1 
events, but said it was unlikely to be the last as investigations were 
continuing.

He said Australian Federal Police and United States' authorities were also 
involved in the investigations.
