18th November 2024
Two vehicles have been stolen following a break-in on a farm near Windsor Castle. The incident happened while the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as their three children slept in their home on the estate.
Thames Police confirmed that a pick-up truck and quad bike were stolen last month from a farm located on the Windsor Castle estate, which also includes residences of the Royal Family.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were not at Windsor Castle when the farm raid took place.
However, Prince William, Princess Catherine and their three children were home at Adelaide Cottage, which is located not far from Windsor Castle, when the incident occurred.
Ongoing investigation
The burglary took place just before midnight on Sunday, 13th October. Two men scaled a six-foot perimeter fence and escaped by breaking through a gate with a stolen vehicle.
Thames Valley Police told the media: “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.
“No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.”
