Detective Inspector Jess Milne said because the toilet was plumbed in there has been significant damage and flooding and that "a group of offenders used at least two vehicles during the offence".EventSite Design, who work at the Palace, said on Twitter: "We've had some drama overnight which I won't elaborate on just yet but it has meant we need to redirect our contractor traffic for the day.
Blenheim Palace tweeted this morning: "Due to an unforeseen incident at the Palace we are closed until lunchtime." We hope to be able to make a fuller statement later today but do not want to do anything which could interfere with the police's ongoing investigations.
