Keys Stolen From Tower Of London
An inquiry is under way after a person broke into the Tower of London and stole a set of keys.
The incident took place in the early hours of 6 November and the intruder got past the first gate, a spokeswoman for the Historic Royal Palaces said.
Keys for a restaurant, conference rooms and an internal lock to the drawbridges were on the stolen set. The locks have now been changed.
A spokeswoman for the Historic Royal Palaces said they could not reveal more details about the incident as a police inquiry was ongoing.
Cat Killed By Exploded Firework
A cat was killed when a firework which was strapped to its back exploded, police have said.
Officers were called to Shelley Road, Wellingborough at 18:05 GMT on Saturday after a woman and her daughter discovered the remains.
It is believed the cat died immediately after the firework exploded.
Investigating officer PC Mark Jones appealed for information to help "identify and deal with whoever is responsible for this horrible act".
He added: "This is an unbelievably cruel act and we are very keen to hear from anybody who has any information which will lead to the identification of the perpetrators.
"Not only was it horrific for the poor animal involved, the witnesses and owners of the cat are understandably very distressed."
Man Arrested For Planning To Attack Royals
A man has been arrested by police in New Zealand for allegedly planning to attack the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
The 74-year old "known anti-royalist" was detained about an hour before the couple arrived at Auckland quayside to meet well-wishers, police said.
A small group of protesters held up placards urging the royals to "get a job" during the walkabout on Monday.
Charles and Camilla are in New Zealand on a seven-day Diamond Jubilee tour.
In a statement on the New Zealand Police website said the man - from the Mangere suburb of Auckland - will appear in the city's district court on Tuesday "charged with preparing to commit a crime, namely assault".
