London police lose Wembley Stadium keys

PanARMENIAN.Net - Police guarding Wembley Stadium where Olympic football matches are being played revealed Monday, July 30 that they have lost a set of keys to the venue, according to AFP.

Officers searching the stadium in London ahead of the start of the Games misplaced the keys, prompting an investigation by Scotland Yard, but organizers insisted that security has not been compromised.

Organizers stressed that the keys were for internal doors and the relevant locks have now been changed.

Scotland Yard is not treating the incident as a criminal matter.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "On the morning of Tuesday 24 July officers on Olympic police operations at Wembley stadium reported that internal security keys, being used by them as part of searches, were missing."

She said officers searched the stadium but could not find the keys.

A spokesman for London 2012 dismissed fears that security had been breached.
