LONDON — Police say three people have been arrested in a security clampdown related to Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton.

The Metropolitan Police said the three were detained in south London Thursday night on suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance and breach of the peace.

It said two men, aged 68 and 45, and a 60-year old woman remain in custody at a local police station.

The police declined to give further details, saying it believed those arrested were planning to attend the royal wedding.

Nineteen other arrests, not specifically related to Friday’s wedding, also were made in London earlier in the day..
