LONDON: UK police said on Monday officers were investigating a break-in last month on the grounds of the royal Windsor Estate, reportedly while Prince William and his family were at home. Shortage of firearms officersThe newspaper reported last month that armed police officers from the Metropolitan Police’s diplomatic protection unit had been removed from the two main gates of the Windsor Estate. It comes as the force faces a shortage of firearms officers, with far fewer candidates joining up, the tabloid said. The Metropolitan Police, which is responsible for royal security, said it does “not comment on any security arrangements for protected individuals or sites”. The burglary is the latest security breach at Windsor, where William and his family live year-round and was the favoured residence of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
