A thief broke into the Tower of London and stole keys belonging to guards in an astonishing security blunder.

The raider is said to have managed to scale the Front Gate to enter the fortress which holds the Crown Jewels.

The bunch of keys which unlock drawbridges, were in a metal box which was meant to have been securely locked

Guards spotted the thief, but could only radio for assistance, as strict rules meant they could not give chase as they were unable to leave their posts.
