A toddler was retrieved by US Secret Service officers after managing to get into the grounds on the north side of the president's home in Washington.
A curious toddler has become the tiniest intruder to ever breach the perimeter of the White House after squeezing through a metal fence.
On Tuesday, the toddler was seen crawling through the fence on the north side of the executive building. Secret Service officers walked across the North Lawn to retrieve the toddler and reunite him with his parents on Pennsylvania Avenue.Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said officers"encountered a curious young visitor along the White House north fence line who briefly entered White House grounds".
"The White House security systems instantly triggered Secret Service officers and the toddler and parents were quickly reunited," he added. The toddler was the first successful"intruder" at the complex since the White House fence was doubled in height after a series of security breaches.
