TWO ROBBERS ARRESTED IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE BREAK-IN.

Two men have been arrested after a break-in at Buckingham Palace, the Metropolitan Police has confirmed.

One of the suspects was arrested ‘deep inside’ the royal residence after scaling a fence to get inside the Queen’s home, police say.

He was found ‘in an area currently open to the public during the day’ and arrested for burglary, trespass and criminal damage.

A second man was arrested outside the palace for conspiracy to commit burglary following the incident shortly before 10.30pm on Monday.

‘A review of the specific circumstances of this incident is being carried out. No members of the Royal Family were at Buckingham Palace at the time of the incident.’‘Both men have been bailed to return to a central London police station and enquiries continue,’ said a Met Police spokesman.

A palace source said there are ‘many red faces’ following the security breach which is being ‘treated with the ‘upmost seriousness’.

The unemployed father of four, 31, spent around 10 minutes talking to the Queen after he climbed over the palace walls and up a drainpipe before police arrived.The break-in is one of the most serious security scares at the palace since 1982, when Michael Fagan evaded guards to get inside the Queen’s private chambers while she was still in bed.

The Queen has been spending her summer break at Balmoral Castle and is expected to return to the palace in October.

Buckingham Palace did not comment on the incident.
