LONDON: London police said four people were arrested Saturday after food — purportedly apple crumble and custard — were thrown at a display case containing Britain’s priceless Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.
The city’s Metropolitan Police said officers responded “following reports of criminal damage to a display case, containing the State Crown” and that “four protesters threw suspected food onto the case before two left the scene.”
A little-known, self-proclaimed civil resistence group called Take Back Power claimed responsibility, saying its members had thrown apple crumble and custard at the case. It posted a video of the incident on social media.
