A 25-year-old man, identified as Awad Rovalino and with no fixed abode, has been charged with trespassing on a protected site and attempted theft from a motor vehicle in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace. The charges stem from an incident that occurred at 01:25am on Saturday, 16 September, in the Royal Mews area, adjacent to Buckingham Palace.
