Man arrested in Buckingham Palace

DHAKA: A man has been arrested on suspicion of burglary, trespass and criminal damage after scaling a fence to get into Buckingham Palace, police have said.

He was found "in an area currently open to the public during the day" at about 22:20 BST on Monday, the Metropolitan Police said.

A second man was arrested outside the Queen`s home on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary.

The Met said both men were bailed and a review into the incident was under way.

Review launched

A spokesman said police enquiries were continuing.

"A review of the specific circumstances of this incident is being carried out," he said.

"No members of the Royal Family were at Buckingham Palace at the time of the incident."

The spokesman added that security would form part of the review.

Buckingham Palace is the best known of the Queen`s three official residences, serving as a family home and the administrative headquarters of the monarchy.
