British police arrest "sinister intruder" spotted royal grounds
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 05 - 08 - 2010


British police have arrested a man who was spotted
with two others near the home of Prince Andrew, and his former
wife, Sarah Ferguson, earlier this week, dpa quoted a spokesman as saying Thursday.
Police said the 43-year-old man had been arrested at his home in
Slough, near Windsor Castle just outside London, on suspicion of
planning to commit theft in the early hours of Monday.
He was one of three people spotted on CCTV cameras near the Royal
Lodge in Windsor Great Park, which remains the shared home of Prince
Andrew and his ex-wife despite their 1996 divorce.
Neither Andrew, 50, nor his ex-wife, or their two daughters,
Beatrice and Eugenie, were there at the time, and nothing was stolen,
police said.
Windsor Great Park, which is open the public, is adjacent to
Windsor Castle, the home of Queen Elizabeth II when she is not in
London. However, in August, the queen stays at Balmoral, in Scotland.
"At approximately 5.05 am on Monday 2 August, three people entered
the area of Windsor Great Park, in a vehicle ... They
exited minutes later and nothing was stolen. The method of entry
remains under investigation," said a police statement.
According to the Sun newspaper, the three or four "sinister
intruders," who were dressed in black and wearing balaclavas,
demolished the gates with a Range Rover.
"It looked like a well-planned operation because they were
disguised and knew how to escape through back roads," the Sun quoted
a police source as saying.
"They could have been burglars who didn't realize they were
breaking into a royal home. Or they could have been terrorists bent
on mayhem," said the paper in its online edition.
The two princesses had returned home Wednesday to find it
"crawling with armed police."
"This incident highlights how easy it would be for someone to get
in and plant a bomb or to hide. It should never be allowed to happen
and a major investigation is under way," said the Sun.
