LONDON >> Four people were arrested at London’s Tower of London after they threw food at a display case containing the Imperial State Crown, police said on Saturday, leading to a temporary closure of part of the historic building housing the Crown Jewels.

An organization called Take Back Power, which describes itself as a civil resistance group, posted footage of the incident on social media and said two of its members had smothered the display case with apple crumble and custard.

London police said in a statement that four protesters were detained following the reports of criminal damage to the display case shortly before 1000 GMT.

“They have been taken into custody. The Jewel House has been closed to the public while the police investigation continues.” the statement said.
