London police admit to losing keys to Wembley

LONDON (AP) -- London police lost a set of keys at an Olympic venue last week - but security was not compromised by the incident, officials said Sunday.

Officers securing Wembley Stadium, an Olympic soccer venue in west London, reported Tuesday that a set of internal keys used on searches at the venue were missing, Scotland Yard said.

The force said that detectives failed to find the keys, but found no evidence of criminal offenses - suggesting that police probably misplaced the keys.

"There is absolutely no security concern in relation to the stadium as measures were taken immediately to secure all key areas of the venue," police said in a statement.

Not good for being only the second day of the Olympics.

LOL, I know I'll catch flak for this, but British Police are the most incompetent bunch of do-nothings I've ever seen.

I'm looking forward to the Benny Hill style chase when the keys show up.

wow ... to think those are the guys who are supposed to provide security .... and they cant even find a set of keys .... really makes one feel safe ...
