Burglars break into Windsor Castle stealing two vehicles

Two men scaled a 6ft fence at night and used a stolen truck to break through a security gate at the royal venue, according to reports.

They then reportedly fled with a pick-up and a quad bike that were stored in a barn.

The burglary is said to have happened on October 13, according to The Sun.

Masked robbers scaled the walls of Windsor Castle, smashed through a security barrier and made off with two vehicles - just minutes from the home of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
