A man was arrested by British police on Tuesday after he approached the gates of Buckingham Palace and dumped items “suspected to be shotgun shells” on the palace grounds, London’s Metropolitan Police said.

“The man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon,” police said in a statement.

The statement said officers apprehended the man and took him into custody, and cordons have been placed.

This information is being expanded.
