Security cannot halt urban explorers

A FORMER student who says he has scaled Europe’s tallest building claims he could do so again “tomorrow” in spite of increased security.

Bradley L Garrett boasts his group of urban “explorers” has climbed the 1,016ft Shard in London “half a dozen” times and could do so again in spite of security being stepped up at the site.

He said: “It is impossible to secure a site that big. The security guards that work on the site are only human, no-one wants to sit there watching cameras 12 hours a day.

“We do not break anything, 90 per cent of the time no-one even knows we have been in and out of the place,” he added.

His comments come after pictures, apparently showing a group of trespassers posing at the top of the unfinished skyscraper, were posted on Mr Garrett’s web blog Place Hacking.
