Four people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after the display case containing the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London was apparently covered in fruit crumble and custard. The vault where the artefacts are displayed, known as the Jewel House, was temporarily closed to the public while police investigated the potential attack. A group called Take Back Power, who say that they are campaigning for higher taxes on the wealthy, have taken responsibility for the protest. The group said in a statement posted online that two protesters covered the Crown Jewels display case with custard and apple crumble at around 9:50am on Saturday morning.

A driver made a miraculous escape after his out-of-control Mercedes hit a roundabout and flew over traffic during a medical episode. In CCTV from the scene, the car is seen being catapulted off the road at speed before sailing over the top of two cars. The driver, who officials say had fainted after a diabetic episode, was later cut free from wreckage after smashing into a roadside pole in the Romanian city of Oradea on Wednesday (3 December). The 49-year-old man was left with multiple fractures but avoided life-threatening injury. Police issued him a 1,600 lei (£270) fine and a 90-day license suspension, as investigations continue.
