A man who posed a Priest and spent the night in Army Barracks will face no further action.
The intruder gained access to the Victoria Barracks, near Windsor Castle, which is home to the Coldstream Guards, in Windsor on the 27th of April.
The man ate with officers, offered a bed to sleep in and was given breakfast the next morning, before the alarm was raised.
Thames Valley Police were called shortly afterwards and removed the man from the barracks.
A police spokesperson said said no further action was taken against the man and that he was not detained under the Mental Health Act.
An investigation is still being carried out by the Army how he got past security.
The Ministry of Defence said the man, who has not been named, called himself Father Cruz and claimed to know the battalion's padre.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
