Two people have been detained near the White House following a pair of security breaches, according to the United States Secret Service agency (USSS). One of the incidents, which occurred Monday morning, involved a suspect who drove a vehicle onto the pavement at Lafayette Park, which sits directly in front of the White House. Secret Service Police and National Guard units responded to reports of the vehicle crash at about 10am local time (15:00 GMT), according to a spokesperson for the federal law enforcement agency. They converged on the northern edge of Lafayette Park near 16th and H Streets Northwest. Around the same time, another suspect jumped a security barrier in the northwest corner of Lafayette Park.
