Four people have been arrested after custard and apple crumble was flung at a display case containing Crown Jewels at the Tower of London.<\/p>\n

Police were called shortly before 10:00 GMT on Saturday after four protesters defaced the case containing the Imperial State Crown, before two protesters left the scene.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police said in a statement four people had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and taken into custody.<\/p>\n

The Tower’s Jewel House has been closed to the public while the police investigation continues, the force said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Take Back Power, which describes itself as a new non-violent civil-resistance group, claimed it was behind the act.<\/p>\n

The group said it carried out the stunt to demand the UK government establishes a permanent citizen’s assembly – a “House of the People” – with the power to “tax extreme wealth and fix Britain”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
