Masked robbers target Windsor Castle

Two masked men have targeted Windsor Castle and took off with two vehicles that were stored in a barn.

The men used a stolen truck to break through a security gate at night and then scaled a two-metre fence to gain entry into the royal grounds. 

According to reports by The Sun, King Charles and Queen Camilla were not at Windsor at the time, but it is believed Prince William and his family were residing in Adelaide Cottage, part of the Windsor Castle estate.

The cottage is five minutes away from where the break-in occurred, and the family are regularly seen using the wrecked gate, the nearest exit to their home.

Local police were called to a report of a burglary on Crown Estate land in Windsor, west of London, just before midnight on October 13th.

“Offenders entered a farm building and made off with a black Isuzu pick-up and a red quad bike. They then made off towards the Old Windsor/Datchet area,” Thames Valley Police told the newspaper.

“No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.”
