LONDON: London police say an intruder tried to climb a security fence at Buckingham Palace, but did not gain access to the landmark building.
The Metropolitan Police say officers monitoring CCTV cameras saw the 22-year-old from Croydon and arrested him early Tuesday inside a security perimeter on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site.
Police say he had been drinking, was not armed and was detained without using stun guns. The breach is not believed to be terrorism related.
Several intruders have breached security at the queen’s London residence over the years — including a man convicted of murder who climbed a wall in May while Queen Elizabeth II was at home.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the intruder. The royal family was not there at the time.

PARIS: Several suspects have been identified in an investigation into the death of a French far-right activist, including some linked to the “ultra-left movement,” a source following the case told AFP on Tuesday.
Quentin Deranque, 23, died after sustaining a severe brain injury when he was attacked by at least six people last week on the sidelines of a far-right protest against a left-wing politician speaking at a university in the southeastern city of Lyon.
The suspects were not known to authorities as security threats, the source added.
