Four people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after the display case containing the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London was apparently covered in fruit crumble and custard.

The vault where the artefacts are displayed, known as the Jewel House, was temporarily closed to the public while police investigated the potential attack. A group called Take Back Power, who say that they are campaigning for higher taxes on the wealthy, have taken responsibility for the protest.

The group said in a statement posted online that two protesters covered the Crown Jewels display case with custard and apple crumble at around 9:50am on Saturday morning.
