Burglars 'steal farm vehicles from Windsor Castle estate'

It's understood burglars have stolen farm vehicles from the Windsor Castle estate.

Two men scaled a 6ft fence at night and used a stolen truck to break through a security gate at the royal venue, according to The Sun newspaper.

They then reportedly fled with a pick-up and a quad bike that were stored in a barn.

The burglary is said to have happened on October 13.

The King was not in residence.

In a statement to the newspaper, Thames Valley Police said: "At around 11.45pm on Sunday October 13, we received a report of burglary at a property on Crown Estate land near to the A308 in Windsor.

"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."
