Protesters throw crumble and custard at Crown Jewels in Tower of London stunt View 3 Images

Four protesters have been arrested after custard and apple crumble was thrown at a display case containing the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.

Take Back Power, which describes itself as a new non-violent civil resistance group, claimed it was behind the act as it called for a citizen-led assembly that has the power to tax the rich.

Footage shared by the group showed one demonstrator removing the large foil tray of crumble from a bag and then slamming it against the glass protecting the Imperial State Crown. Another then repeatedly poured a tub of bright yellow custard on the front of the case.

The activists then opened their coats to show their T-shirt slogans which read "Take Back Power"
