Sellar Property Group comment on Shard trespassers

We believe this is an incident which took place around December 2010 when we were undertaking both ground and structure works.

The breach was discovered very soon afterwards and security immediately tightened.

Today security on the site is tight with 14 night-time security guards on duty continuously who cover all areas, as well as 25 CCTV cameras in operation together with a ground floor level laser alarm system.
