The Wiltshire Police in Salisbury, England, reported that a 45-year-old man tried to steal the Magna Carta, the UK’s first attempt at setting the foundations for constitutional government and freedom under the law.
The police reported that alarms in Salisbury Cathedral sounded shortly before 5 p.m. on Oct. 25, after a man armed with a hammer tried to smash the glass display case housing the precious document.
